Batch Files Ü
ßßßßßßßßßßßß
A batch file or batch program is an unformatted text file that contains
one or more FreeDOS commands and has 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 FreeDOS command you use at the command prompt can also be put in a
batch program. In addition, the following FreeDOS 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.
