Description
Instead of just running CMD commands, PATH could also run BAS/BIN programs that are in the CMD directory using the ProDOS - command.
Then you could put non-interactive utility programs in the CMD directory and access them easily.
Useful for those who want the flexibility of the PATH system but don't want to create CMD binaries.

Research direction
Start by locating the PATH command's existing CMD execution logic in the repository and read how it resolves programs in the CMD directory. Determine how ProDOS's - command should be incorporated for BAS/BIN programs, then verify that both existing CMD commands and the new non-interactive utilities can be reached through PATH.
