The attached shows an "echo ." command setup.
Sadly, what gets echoed is the path to the current directory.
I got excited when I discovered that "echo ^." didn't have that problem, but in non-CMD.exe programs, ^ just gets passed through.

So the question is, is there a SyMenu way to escape a "." so that it can get passed through to a program, instead of being modified from "." to the current directory path on the way?

In other words, not all "." are paths, or path prefixes. Sometimes, they are just a parameter to a command.
