The XXCOPY TECHNICAL BULLETIN #16 dated 2000-09-14 does not actually have the 
syntax for the flattening delimiter listed:

/S Sets the directory delimiter character for /SL, /SX and /SR,
where  is any legal non-alphabetic, non-blank character.
The default delimiter is back-apostrophe (`).

It talks about it, but I had to go back to the XXCOPY /HELP tome to dig up the 
switch. It would help to add it to this bulletin at some point.

Also important to note is that the left apostrophe (`) is appearing as a left 
angle bracket (<) which is decidedly not legal, on this page. It could be my 
browser, but I'm not sure.

Also, why restrict the delimeter to a single character? Maybe multiples would 
be safer, say /S!!! ?

The exhaustive list of punctuation doesn't list ";" which should fit, though I 
have not tried it.
