   Does indeed. I tried every combination of forward and backslashes imaginable. A caret? Heh.

   Yes, it does help. *Thank you*.

   The thing is, I think I knew this once, but then I forgot it.

   But what I was really trying to do still doesn’t seem to work.

   I was trying to take output like this:
   ping -n 1 | find “Reply” > 1pingout

   then I wanted to set the window title equal to the result of that ping.

   The way I tried doing it was:
   set /p MYTITLE= < 1pingout
   title %MYTITLE%

   This fails whenever MYTITLE contains a “<”, which it sometimes does if the ping return time was really small.

   Even with all the new options in set, I can’t see any way of escaping the “<” without using something Unixie.
