Hi John,

(Thursday October 22 1998 20:28) John Thompson to Lars Van Dijk about:
Bat/btm/Extension

 JT> Sure.  Try "for %a in (*.pas) do pret %{at}name[%a]" instead.  But

The "executable extension" trick is not such a wise idea here,
since that will not strip the .pas extension from the passed-on parameter
to pret.exe...
Apart from that, officious thinking ;-)
