A batch file is nothing but a text file. There are File I/O statements that
you can use to write a text file. The Open, Close, and Print # statements
are three to look up in Help as a start. _What_ you need to put in the batch
file is up to you.

If there was more to this question than met the eye... post back to clarify
and perhaps someone can be more specific.

Thanks Bas Cost Budde and Larry Linson for your quick responses. I
have investigate the Input/Output methods and now am left wondering how
to write the file without the dreaded quotation marks at the beginning
and end of every line in the file? Any thoughts?

Tell me how you get those *in* and I'll tell you how to not have them.
:-) but seriously, I assume you have coded something? Show it!

So, after reading some messages about os.system, and looking at the popen stuff and trying it a bit, I still have not found a way to keep a command window open for several commands (on Windows 2000/XP), while seeing the normal output in a command window.

Hi everybody I'd appreciate some help on creating a tear off menu with TkInter. I've been reading some documentation but still no luck. Please don't get confused: when I mean "tear off" menu I don't mean a drop-down or a pop-up menu, but those options which yield to another batch of sub-options when scrolled over, (as for example, the File->New option from internet explorer).

You can edit an RDP file using any text editor, however if you try to use simple batch, or vbscript to append text to that file, it doesn't retain it normal properties.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
