The CMD.EXE START command does way more than open the file explorer on a directory path. That is only the case when passing a directory path as a parameter.

  • Split START reference into three cases:
    1. Open path in default app
    2. Execute internal command
    3. Execute batch file
  • Add documentation about Nushell's own start command, which overlaps with CMD.exe START

Although Nushell start can be used to execute bat files, doing so does not open a new console window like CMD.EXE START does. Hence, no such mapping is added.
