?Bug? or ?Feature?

Dear EU users,

Today, (maybe just 1st April ?) I was downloading
some files from MS site.

I used  the following .bat file :

rem  begin of file.bat
graburl http://www.microsoft.com/typography/unicode/932.txt >932.txt
graburl http://www.microsoft.com/typography/unicode/936.txt >936.txt
graburl http://www.microsoft.com/typography/unicode/949.txt >949.txt
graburl http://www.microsoft.com/typography/unicode/950.txt >950.txt
rem end of fille.bat

932.txt is 361K, 936.txt is 872K, 949.txt is 1270K, 950.txt is 705K 
of descriptions of the eastern code pages.

After downloading, I have noticed the 950.txt file is corrupted,
without the end, others are good.

I edit my file.bat and get :

rem  begin of file.bat
rem graburl http://www.microsoft.com/typography/unicode/932.txt >932.txt
rem graburl http://www.microsoft.com/typography/unicode/936.txt >936.txt
rem graburl http://www.microsoft.com/typography/unicode/949.txt >949.txt
graburl http://www.microsoft.com/typography/unicode/950.txt >950.txt
rem end of fille.bat

I ran this corrected file.bat and got a good 950.txt (about Chinese).

But I also got 932.txt, 936.txt and 949.txt 
*with 0 bytes each*  instead of my good ones.

* Windows doesn't understand the *rem* command in this case, it seems to
be. *

The lines of batch:

rem graburl http://www.microsoft.com/typography/unicode/932.txt >932.txt
rem graburl http://www.microsoft.com/typography/unicode/936.txt >936.txt
rem graburl http://www.microsoft.com/typography/unicode/949.txt >949.txt

just rewrote my good files with empty ones.

And I think, is that the *standard redirection* on Windows ?  

My Windows is 95 OSR2 Russian, but how about
NT, 2000, ME, X, XX ... ?
