I do not now, given the current trend of changing thing for the sake of it leading to getting rid of lots of very useful features. But back in the NT 3.51 era I was a heavy windows command prompt user. And they have a feature which I consider superior to the irregular she bang support in the unix world, the file type association which let you associate an extension with an interpreter and which properly parsed multiple arguments in the interpreter definition. I used it for perl and awk, and even had a wrapper which let me execute a C file by invoking it by name ( compiling it along the way ). You would still have to overcome the problems with the weird quoting rules of every command, but that is another tale.
