C
Ploughing through the list, , i noted
(whereas the doc only escribes the RUN " command
i noted  also the use of 
RUN CMD
RUN COMMAND
RUN CMDMIN

I am looking at those, but did not find much info
CMD seems to be able to handle long names, cOMMAND not
RUN CMD "/C dir" will close the shell window whereas /k will not

It seems that if you use CMD you have to use the backslash paths
I guess this may not be true if you just use RUN <path> <commandline>

I have a path too in the <commandline> 


I have been experimenting with the BSLASH argument , but no succes till now.
Is it possibel to convert a path in a variable to backslash, before using it  in a commandline?
