(*
Demonstration program that shows how to use the Dos
unit's Exec procedure to execute DOS commands (including
running other programs or batch files).
This program keeps prompting you for a DOS command until
you enter a blank line.
When using Exec, make sure you specify a {$M} directive
so the heap leaves some memory available for the child
process.
