   1) Is there a simple way to get the number of args passed to a batch (.BAT   
       or .CMD) file?  Like $# in Unix.   
      
   2) Just out of curiosity, where are the command line args documented in the   
       DOS/Windows command prompt help system?  I know that things like %~xX   
       are documented in "help for", but what about the really basic stuff,   
       like %1, %2, %*?
