.com & other executable filename extensions


Anybody know why under both "cygwin.bat" &
'cmd.exe', I must explicitly type the
'.com' extension in order to get a
'.com' file to execute.

I've tried adding the following line to
'cygwin.bat':


  set PATHEXT=%PATHEXT%;.sf;.ksf;.cmd;.com;.exe;.bat;.awk;.pl;.py
  
No help.

If this is covered anywhere in the
documentation, it's got me fooled.
