While this might be a nice idea, there's no way to implement it in
practice.  The best that can be done is to disable the editor, so
that the system exits to DOS instead of running the editor.  Turbo
4.0 should be a bit different (more on the lines of Turbo BASIC and
TPROLOG), but I doubt it will have the ability to invoke a custom
editor.

PS. any mention of TPascal 4.0 should be treated only as a vicious
    rumor.
