This doesn't produce the desired effect (?)

I'm using TASM in a batch file and sometimes need to enter/modify a symbol
from the command-line e.g.

    C:> asm stuff

where ASM.BAT contains the line:

    tasm  /l  /t  /d%1  /d%2  /d%3  /d%4  /d%5  source.asm

and the desired effect would be:

    tasm  /l  /t  /dstuff  filename.asm

That works.  However in order to pass a symbol and value to TASM

    tasm  /l  /t  /dstuff=8  filename.asm

Batch would need to insert 'stuff=8' as one item.
