Wow! yes, removing that one line makes it work fine..
It seems that
@echo off
echo HELLO>test.txt
rem echo GOODBYE>test.txt
will result in a completely blank test.txt, (but removing the `rem'
line makes it work as expected).
Thanks for explaining that mystery.
I also think line 53 ("cd lisp") should say "cd %BBDBDIR%\lisp",
because people might run make.bat from its original location
(%BBDBDIR%\bits\make.bat).
