To mimic "cmd.exe" behavior with eg. "DIRCMD" env. variable
#4
That manpage (ladies, shield your fair eyes!), qb64pe.1, is included with the Windows compiler as well.  It ain't pretty unless you run it through man2html or something similar.

When 3.2.0 came out I meant to mention that the -f switch was not mentioned in the manpage, but it slipped my mind.

Upon examination, four switches are not listed in the manpage.

Here's a side-by-side of qb64pe.exe's help screen on top of the manpage.  Help screen contents rearranged to match manpage, to make comparison easier:

@mnrvovrfc : man.exe was available as part of msys/mingw last time I set it up, jeez, 5 years ago.  It's part of msys, IIRC.  Dunno if it's still available.  man2html.exe may be more useful to Win users since it can convert manpages to HTML once and for all.  I have a statically-linked copy for Windows and can post it if anyone is interested.
