question about PIPE and _mchar

[kas1e]

Well, question about PIPEs in amiga. I am using PIPE-1.5 from aminet, and all work fine, but, here is a settings:

Set _pchar "|"   ; PIPE
Set _mchar "||"  ; multicommand

Well, here is || as ';' in unix. Well, i was try to put Set _mchar ";", and it is not work, becouse aos already handled ';' char ? So, for what purposes aos take it, and , can it be to alises || to ; anyway ?

It is comment in shell window too ?[  ] I mean:

amiga shell:> cd libs: ; for what purposes needs comments in the command string ?

I mean why need it comments in command string in shell ? Do you use it for any reassons ?
