   QUESTION about TARGET multi-line-command syntax   
      
   1. This works from the Windows command line to kill all the users' tasks:   
    Win+R > cmd {ctrl+shft+enter} >   
    taskkill /f /fi "USERNAME eq %COMPUTERNAME%\%USERNAME%" /IM *   
      
   2. That also seems to work just fine from a shortcut TARGET line:   
    TARGET = taskkill /f /fi "USERNAME eq %COMPUTERNAME%\%USERNAME%" /IM *   
    START IN: C:\Windows\system32   
      
   3. It also seems to work in a comspec cmd (needed for multiple commands):   
    TARGET = %comspec% /c taskkill /f /fi "USERNAME eq %COMPUTERN   
   ME%\%USERNAME%" /IM *   
    START IN: C:\Windows\system32   
      
   4. But it doesn't seem to work in multi-command shortcut comspec syntax:   
    TARGET = %comspec% /c "echo off | clip" & veracrypt /dismount /force /q &   
   taskkill /f /fi "USERNAME eq %COMPUTERNAME%\%USERNAME%" /IM *   
    START IN: C:\Windows\system32   
      
   Q: What syntax change is needed to get that multi-line comspec cmd to work?
