thanks for that description....(from some a.m.b.-only reader) although i even
would add: despite being able to handle the same batch-commands as used in
(earlier) DOS.

Anyway, if considering batch, i wonder if someone can say that batching is
possible without command.com, reason why most simple users feel it as belonging
to the (standard) OS. (oh yes, there are other cli-interfaces, but considering
the MS in the name ??)

Just some thinking here....
