ah, ok, yes it still fails there for me to.

6.4.3svn on XP from the wxGUI command console:

{{{
r.mapcalc "either = 0 || 1"

unterminated string
syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting NAME or STRING
Parse error
'1\""' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
}}}

I've no idea how to fix it.

another suggestion to bypass the problem is to start with the MSys or
C:\> command windows; that's actually the default in wingrass7. if a
real terminal should open or not when grass is started with the default
desktop icon remains an open question.

I thought it was there too, maybe it was in the comments of one of
the long tickets about the C:\Files having the \F being treated as
a quoted literal "F"? eg https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/1447

shrug, nothing here:
https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/query?status=assigned&status=new&status=reopened&component=wxGUI&order=priority&col=id&col=summary&col=component&col=status&col=type&col=priority&col=milestone&milestone=!7.0.0&keywords=~wingrass

so maybe it needs its own ticket.

right, a ticket to refer back to would be good though.
