1. I'd like to see commands like PUSH YesChar and POP YesChar for
    batch files so that regions of the batch file can temporarily
    change environment variables and pseudo-variables.
2. I'd also like to see the ability to set the switchar, yeschar for
    different tasks separately. (Not sure if SwitchChar can be set
    other than on  a system-wide basis; I guess that other characters
    proposed such as YesChar, FileChar would be set/obtained by similar
    DOS calls  that store bytes in some global RAM??)
3. It is probably a good idea not to quote too much of an original message;
    I've probably gone too far the other way in quoting none! ;-)

Mark.
