Of course, I know this.

You mean, "run" (not "edit")? Interesting reason. But:
1. I myself _always_ check beforehand what given batch file contains.
2. Why not make your own batch file and place it in some your own directory?
Then you may, for example, place (permanent) shortcut to it in
Start/Programs. And, thus, you will not depend on some exampled batch
file from distributive.

:) This is another reason to make your own batch file - it will check
command.com existance and copy some other, if need. But... Jeremy's
distributive doesn't contains command.com? This is bad, I think.

Of course, I mean "SYS . A:". :)

This was only my example. :)
