It handles batch files among many other things (and I mean MANY other things). It's most obvious drawback is that it eats up approximately 145K but it covers enough ground that you would most likely be able to eliminate most of your accessories. I own the program but cannot give you much detail on the batch file function because I haven't had enough time lately to take a good look at it.. Good luck, Martin Zyla mzyla@dasys1.UUCP .
