Should FreeCOM replicate this “feature” or fix the bug? IMO that's a parsing problem. is it (1) REM WHATEVER or (2) command | command and even if *you* think this is a bug, by definition what MSDOS 6.22 does is the definition of how to implement stuff (unless it's a really obvious bug which I don't see here). so it's more of a feature, then a bug.
