JJ,

No idea either. There doesn't seem to be any official documentation
about it or the other semicolon and comma delimiters.

Bummer.

For example, I found that the "" character when not used for redirection,
is treated as (no quotes) "?.". And the "" character when not used for
redirection, is treated as (no quotes) "*.". At least for DIR command.

Whut ? What good does that do (duplicating already existing functionality)?

I recall a desktop publishing SW package which had "at least two
ways to do everything." Which was kind of neat, but kind of a PITA as
you had to learn both ways.

Reminded me of the time I wound up trying to learn Boolean Algebra
in two separate classes, with two separate sets of notation. I got
the concepts, mostly, but still have trouble "reading" the statements.
