as Aitor said:"To me this is a bug. Not a major one, but a bug."
if you look at the source (cmd\dir.c)
...
optScanFct(opt_dir)
{
(void)arg;
switch(ch) {
case 'S': return optScanBool(optS);
case 'P': return optScanBool2(optP); /* multiple uses, /P /P, do not cancel,
only /-P */
case 'W': return optScanBool(optW);
case 'B': return optScanBool(optB);
virtually all options toggle, but someone probably noted that /P
should not toggle, because even after
set DIRCMD=/P
DIR /P
should still pause.
MSDOS probably has not toggling at all (I'm not sure; someone who is not
named Tom should test this), and optScanBool() should be replaced by
optScanBool2() all over FreeCOM.
Tom
