Thanks for the reply.  I was not aware of the PATHEXT env variable.
But, my question arises from the fact that when you do a 'ls -... --color', 
.cmd files do not show up with the color specified for files with the 
EXEC attribute.  And if you do a 'ls -al',  files with a .cmd extension 
do not show up as executable....
