Oh, I think I see what you're asking.

You're complaining that the "echo hi" didn't seem to have been passed to 
the shell at all!

That's certainly a valid complaint, if true; the ShellScriptTest should 
pass its input to the Windows command shell and capture the output, and 
if the input were a valid batch file, it should run.  If that's what 
you're saying, would you please send me the .qmt file for the failing 
test and we'll see if we can reproduce it.

Thanks!
