What do exclamation marks around a variable name mean? For
example:
example:
econ -n !RECNO!/%CNT% %%V
I have searched extensively on the Internet, but I have been
unable to find a reference for this.
Thanks in advance, Alan

In 4DOS it means nothing. CMD.EXE uses this syntax to defer variable
expansion until the command is executed, as opposed to during the
initial parse. Current versions of Take Command include optional
support for this syntax, but don't need it. 4DOS neither needs nor
supports it.
