a really dumb question: why doesn't "echo %ERRORLEVEL%" work?

Hello, I RTFMd gnu make manual carefully, and all I found on how make executes
commands, is that it just passes them to the shell, it does not know anything
about how the shell executes them.
OK, so I am on the Windows XP shell, and I have this makefile:
foobar:
echo %ERRORLEVEL%
Now here is what I see at my shell prompt if I execute this command by hand:
D:\tmp>echo %ERRORLEVEL%
0
But when I try to execute this command through make, I see something else:
D:\tmp>make foobar
echo %ERRORLEVEL%
%ERRORLEVEL%
D:\tmp>
Why?? How to do it so that make really passes the command as is??
