                               Batch Commands

A batch file or batch program is an unformatted text file that contains one
or more MS-DOS commands and is assigned a .BAT extension. When you type the
name of the batch program at the command prompt, the commands are carried
out as a group.

Any MS-DOS command you use at the command prompt can also be put in a batch
program. In addition, the following MS-DOS commands are specially designed
for batch programs:

<Call>                  <If>
<Choice>                <Pause>
<Echo>                  <Rem>
<For>                   <Shift>
<Goto>

You can use the COMMAND /Y command to step through a batch program line by
line, and can selectively bypass or carry out individual commands. This is
useful for tracking down problems in batch files. For more information, see
<COMMAND>.
