Yup, I just checked, and this goes all the way back to 2.1.2. I didn't 
know this was the case however, so you're right - any code that does:

  if the shellCommand = "cmd.exe" then

will fail and you'd need to use the "is in" construct you mentioned 
above. To be 100% sure, you'd need to do this:

  if char -7 to -1 of the shellCommand = "cmd.exe" then

(although the likelihood there might be "cmd.exe" in the path and have 
it NOT be the target file is extremely small).
