Summary: Can't run .BAT when .COM or .EXE also present

In DOS 3.3, if you have FOO.BAT and FOO.COM in the same subdirectory,
the COM program is always executed, even if you type "FOO.BAT" at the
DOS prompt -- or even "CALL FOO.BAT" (didn't try DETACH :-) ). EXEs
also override .BAT. Happens on a PS/2 Mod 30 as well as AT 339. Surely
this isn't a feature?
