I was wondering if anybody else had encountered the situation where if you set
your COMSPEC to something like C:\command.com /e:1024 Turbo C++ (I have V1.00)
will not shell out to DOS.  If I don't have COMSPEC like that but without the
parameters it will shell out OK but die when exiting - perharps because it
starts up a new command.com??  The message that it says when it can't shell out
is that it can't find the file - obviously it ignores the space.  If others can
replicate the program could they tell Borland about it please.

Please don't make suggestions about modifying the default environment size in
COMMAND.COM - I know how to do this but I would rather have it fixed if
possible.
