This one in particular (the /K) is exactly what I need to debug an issue I'm 
having.

A real world issue, in an actual program I'm actually writing at this very 
moment.
(That large remark is for Tony, who I'm sure will eventually jump in here and 
call me a "troll".)

Ummm ... it's not a UniVerse thing, it's a command prompt thing.  Open up a
ommand prompt window, and type cmd /? And you'll see all the options.
/c means run the following command, then close the window
k means run the following command, and keep the window open
There's a whole list of command options ...

n educated guess would be that the DOS command invokes the command rocessor
command.com in long-ago Windows, cmd.exe now) and passes the \c" (or is it
/c"?) to it.
f in Windows you open a CMD prompt, and type
 cmd /?
u can see what options it accepts. My output includes:
 /C      Carries out the command specified by string and then terminates
urther down the help display, it gives more information.

The DOS command in Universe takes a "/c" argument and then you can specify
 at file like

DOS \c test.bat

What does \c mean?  Are there other arguments like \z or \x  that it can
ake?
