In that case I would expect something like coming from ogrinfo:

     GEOGCS["NAD83",
         DATUM["North_American_Datum_1983",
             SPHEROID["GRS 1980",6378137,298.257222101,
                 AUTHORITY["EPSG","7019"]],
             AUTHORITY["EPSG","6269"]],
         PRIMEM["Greenwich",0,
             AUTHORITY["EPSG","8901"]],
         UNIT["degree",0.01745329251994328,
             AUTHORITY["EPSG","9122"]],
         AUTHORITY["EPSG","4269"]],
     UNIT["metre",1,
         AUTHORITY["EPSG","9001"]],

But instead I am getting just the content of the PRJ file:

BTW, I checked my %GDAL_DATA% and it is correct and working fine on the 
same "Command Prompt" section with gdalinfo.

Would that be a bug or a misunderstanding of my part?

Thanks,

Ivan
