That figures, but the piping separator ought to be ignored because the
line is preceded by a REM. The behavior of DOS ought to be more consistent
and predictable. Things ought not to be the way they are. Anyway, DOS is
still a lot more stable than windoze, despite its peculiar quirks. Oh,
well, next time I will try using some other separator. Thanks for the
explanation.
BTW, Also replying on the list to my question was Ben A. L. Jemmett, who
offered a similar explanation. Thanks goes to him also.
All the best,
