If you convert to Turbo Pascal 4, you can do what you want with the
new "exec" function-- execute an arbitrary DOS program (COM, EXE, or
BAT) with a specified argument string.

Conversion from Turbo Pascal 3 is somewhat painful if you have a large,
complicated program with overlays and chain files, but worth it for
the resulting much nicer development environment and higher speed.
