In order to put this in the archive and to educate the ignorant as I
used to be, the circumflex "^" (SHIFT of 6 on US Keyboard) can be used
to quote any character similar to the backslash "\" in UNIX.

Example:

bash$: grep some_variable \| some_other_variable *.c

would translate to

DOS$: grep some_variable ^| some_other_variable *.c
