%0 refers to how the BATch file was started. For instance the file
something.bat located in c:\somedir can have these as %0:
c:\somedir\something
c:\somedir\something.bat
..\something
c:\SomediR\..\soMEdir\something.BAt
And these are just examples that I figured out now. It gets even more
complicated in this scenario:
subst z: c:\somedir
z:something.bat
In some cases you want to know the true name of the directory. So you'll
need to run "truename %0", output the answer somewhere and figure out what
to do with it. It should hereafter always be C:\SOMEDIR\SOMEFILE.BAT so you
can now know that removing BAT for EXE will work (unless you need to be in
the directory and thereby complicate things even more).

Othello not Batch files).
