Subject:	System command

Hello,
	I have a question about the System command. Whenever I call
it and the file IS NOT an executable the whole program crashes. I know,
you aren't supposed to be trying to execute the file in the first place,
but isn't there a way to TRAP the error and not cause a crash if the 
program is not an executable? COMMAND.COM doesn't crash if you try
to run CONFIG.SYS!
	Can anyone point me in the right directions?

Thanks,
	Paul
