I don't know about this particular instance (ie command /c ...), but
command.com DOES support multiple commands on the command line. You use
^T (looks like a backwards P with two legs). eg
C:\>cd foo^Tmake
and
$ cd foo; make
are equivalent.
I don't know what command.com will do with ^T's on it's commandline
(won't work from the CLI or batch files for obvious reasons).
