Yes it fails (both variants). I narrowed it down to the 'more' command
which gives the error message "too many arguments in command line"
(re-translated).
Looking at the help (more /?) it seems that the /e switch is needed, and
indeed:
more +6 /e xlin.t
seems to work.
After googling this issue, it seems to me that "more" not working
properly without the "/e" flag is a bug in some (earlier) versions
of Windows 10. See for example
https://superuser.com/questions/1370353/more-command-returns-too-many-arg...
I can check (tomorrow) if appending "/e" causes a problem with a
version of Windows 10 that doesn't have the bug in question.
