Re: Command prompt parameter expansion with ampersand

["Peter Dow" <pcdow@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Simon,

Thanks for the research. My search techniques obviously need some work. Not
only couldn't I find a manual when searching for the subject, I also
couldn't find it even after you gave me the title. I searched the IBM Online
Library (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/pubs/html/as400/online/v4r4eng.htm)
All Books Bookshelf for "system operations" and came up with nothing. Same
with a search for "AS400 system".

After a side trip to the wonderful Info Center, I came back to the Online
Library and tried "AS/400 system" and got 4 titles. Aha! it's actually
"AS/400 System Operation for New Users V3R1" -- singular not plural. A
search for "system operation" got 3 titles, including the target.

Aren't search engines fun?
