Creating a Batch File
A batch file can be created using any word processor or text editor that
will save output as unformatted text (pure ASCII). Batch files can also
be created by typing directly from the keyboard into a file with the
command
COPY CON filename.BAT
This copies the output from the console (keyboard) to the specified file.
Once you have entered the above command, you may begin to type in
the contents of your batch file.
At the completion of each line, press . As you type each line,
you can make corrections by using and retyping. If an
incorrect line has been entered, or if you wish to discontinue for any
other reason, press to return to the command line. Your
work is not saved.
When you have finished entering all the lines in your batch file, press
and then to complete the creation of the file and
return you to the command line prompt.
