   Seeing your line coded as   
      
   if \%1==\ goto Usage   
      
   makes me curious as to how others code that.   
   I have been using   
      
   if [%1]==[] goto Usage:   
      
   because it reads well (to my eyes anyway)   
      
   Note that I also tack on a colon ( : ) after a label like Usage: in a goto   
   statement just so it   
   perfectly matches the label to jump to.
