Hi Louis,
Thanks for your work! It’s a nice idea to use a batch file for it. I just tried 
it. It works but has some flaws yet. Here’s the feedback:

1. If I run the program in AUTOEXEC.BAT I get several error messages. See:
https://www.lazybrowndog.net/freedos/files/m2wat.bat.png 
<https://www.lazybrowndog.net/freedos/files/m2wat.bat.png>

2. There should be some confirmation like "WATTCP.CFG has been updated".

3. The WATTCP.CFG is written with the values from MTCP.CFG. BUT: WATTCP.CFG is 
overwritten. 
Only the values from MTCP.CFG are kept. 

This can be a problem: WATTCP.CFG can be carefully crafted. Sometimes even 
passwords are stored there. It shouldn’t be overwritten.

See https://www.lazybrowndog.net/freedos/files/wattcp.cfg 
<https://www.lazybrowndog.net/freedos/files/wattcp.cfg> for an example 
WATTCP.CFG with lots of settings.

Yes I think these errors have been committed by me. I look into it (and might 
need some help with it).
M2WAT.COM <http://m2wat.com/> worked with the example WATTCP.CFG and just 
updated the lines that needed it.

Thanks for your help!
cheers
Ulrich
