OK, now I understand everything you were trying to explain
and now it all makes perfect sense to me. Thanks.
So, if you rename any file so that it has a bat extension and
attempt to run it, command.com will of course process it line
by line and echo error messages to the screen until it finds a
line which starts with a word which by coincidence happens to be
a valid command, or until it comes to a line that starts with
non ascii characters. Then command.com aborts.
OK, that makes sense and that explains it.
