Using undocumented features that may (and probably will) change in future releases is NOT the way to generate portable software. Using SWITCHAR itself is a great way to jump into non-portability. Shell scripts (oops, I mean BAT files) are no longer portable without porting the CONFIG.SYS file also. Somehow, the thought of rebooting between applications dows not appeal to me.
