Semicolon in SQL Startup parameters

It took me some time to find that when more than one parameter is used as Startup Parameters in SQL Sever, they should be separated by semicolon rather than space.

For example:
-dC:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\MSSQL\DATA\master.mdf;-eC:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\MSSQL\LOG\ERRORLOG;-lC:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\MSSQL\DATA\mastlog.ldf;-T4616
