FM> Created testexec.exe and testexec.bat and no testexec.com.

FM> TESTEXEC runs testexec.exe TESTEXEC.EXE runs testexec.exe
FM> TESTEXEC.BAT runs testexec.bat TESTEXEC.COM "Bad command or
FM> file name"

FM> When did they change this????

BL> Isn't that what it always did... check COM first, then EXE, then BAT?

The change he's talking about is taking notice of the ".EXE" bit
