In response to the person who thought the reported bug was wrong, 
because it uses an assignment to a singly subscripted component of
a doubly subscripted array (i.e. an array of arrays of char):

Wrongo!  A quoted string is the same as a packed array of char in Jensen
& Wirth standard Pascal, so assigning a quoted string to one component
of an array, each component of which is an array of characters, is 
perfectly legal and reasonable.  If Turbo doesn't do it right, it's 
a bug.
