(This is almost becoming a Frequently Asked Question)

The clue here is "0335".  This is a graphics character which
on some systems just happens to look like a vertical bar.

The key you want is the same as the DOS "pipe" character,
as in:
        TYPE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM.INI | MORE

You'll find the key labelled as a broken vertical line
(two short vertical lines, one above the other).

Nick.
