Pattern for highlight '/help', '/query', '/a' like command line options currently does not require leading whitespace char but MUST. If you use Cygwin/MSYS from bat file you can type expressions like ls dir/sub-dir and '/sub-dir' unfortunately highlighted as CLI switch! Switch which start with - or + properly required leading whitespaces. There exist one situation then you must highlight switch exactly at start of line (and so there are no any leading whitespaces) because this line considered continuation of previous line if previous line end with '^' char. But this not true for command.com and so unusual situation so we can ignore it. So in patch I just improve pattern for '+'/'-', which already do job right. -- Best regards!
