Is the \e (rather than /e) an email typo or real typo?
It's a DOS flag indicator, a forward slash "/".
I think that using this notation (instead on the UNIX's "-") is what
caused the need for to use the back slash "\" for DOS directories so
the back slash was not available for to escape characters, etc.
"\e:8192" is incorrect. What happens when you do
:set shell=C:\\WINNT\\system32\\cmd.exe\ /e:8192
?
