LOL. Reminds me of "how do I pass n quote, comma, or ampersand as a variable?" issues I've had to resolve on occasion over the years.
My latest one is how to automate mapping a drive with elevated permissions win Win7? I have had to get around older apps by right-clicking setup.exe run-as-admin, then opening a command prompt as admin and mapping a drive there to make it available to the "run as admin" install. Anyone know how to make that a single click? I will look it up, just idly wondering...

I miss CTRL+D from *nix. (CTRL+D is end-of-file in *nix land, so typing CTRL+D exits the shell.) I suppose I could install 4NT (4DOS for NT) and bind CTRL+Z to EXIT. 4DOS/4NT rocked. Sooooo much better than COMMAND/CMD, and yet still backwards compatible. PowerShell is cool and all, but it's more effort to switch. I think 4NT is even available as freeware now. Ah, yes.
