feeling there's a larger problem wrapped around this one which may be
relevant and/or solved a better way.

  Here is an NT CMD batch script which takes multi-line input and
spits it out as a single line:

  You can invoke OneLine.CMD from a parent batch file or command

  The PowerShell example given is certainly easier to both write and
understand.  :-)
