   I am checking to see if something is a ";", with:   
      
   if ;==; echo Yes   
      
   I find that doesn't work - get error message "Yes is not expected at this   
   time".  If I change it to:   
      
   if ";"==";" echo Yes   
      
   it works.  Why?  I think it also works as:   
      
   if ^;==^; echo Yes   
      
   So, the semi-colon must be special in some way.
