Two vertical lines, one above the other? That's how the default screen font
displays the pipe in a command prompt window.

You can get a solid line by changing the font: Start> Run> CMD to bring up
a command prompt window. Right click the title bar and select Properties.
On the next screen that appears, click Fonts. There is a section that will
show a list of fonts. Mine has Raster (the default) and Lucida Console.

Select Lucida Console. When you select this, a message appears asking if
this will be a permanent change or if the setting change is just for this
window/this session. Suggest choosing "just this window" since you're
experimenting with the different font.
