   Ooops. To be clear... I meant the "start" command is parallel in nature.   
      
   Anyway, the problem is the parallel start syntax won't work in the Windows   
   Run box or in the shortcut TARGET field (so far, anyway on my need for a   
   linear "cd & adb & scrcpy" command sequence).   
      
   Working on that syntax right now... but if you've never tried to use the   
   internal "start" command, you might not realize that it fails 100% of the   
   time (so far) if you haven't figured out its arcane syntax requirements   
   (which I haven't figured out yet).   
      
   As one syntax example, apparently "start" _must_ be used _only_ with "/k".   
       
   Otherwise, there's nothing left for remaining commands to run inside of.   
      
   And if you google for start syntax examples, they're all too simple:   
       
   Bear in mind, zero of these examples work in the "Run" box (so far anyway).
