Hello Vernon,

As to the separators - you know this, I'm sure - there are basically 2 - one is used if you want the process to fail after a function, the other says ignore the error - I forget which is which.

; — Just don't care, simply run commands in order.
|| — Run next command if the former indicated an error (return value ≠ 0).
&& — Run next command if the former indicated success (return value = 0).

One can build rather complex scripts which look like a (very long) one-liner with the aid of curly braces. But then, it's almost certainly more readable to write stuff into a text file and make it executable. :-)
