I just installed B19.1 and after playing around for a few minutes
found that bash would not execute *.com files (e.g. more.com).
Actually, if you try to execute them, bash treats them as scripts
and reports a syntax error.  Is this a known limitation?  I have
searched the FAQ and mail archives to no avail.
