No, IIRC, all major DOS shells have this quirk (maybe not XP's CMD, can't remember). So you can create a zero-byte file with "REM >blah", if needed. I know, it's absurd and useless, not a great idea to rely on it. Like I said, you can avoid the issue with careful use of "::" when necessary ( > < | ). On the bright side, you save a whole byte per line! :-)
