I use get_iplayer at the prompt in both Windows and Linux. In
Windows, I have tried using batch files in the past - when I wamt a

d/l but then I am returned to the command prompt and the second and
subsequent batch lines never run. Is there a way to use get_iplayer
from batch files (or from the Linux equivalent) for multiple items?
Why don't you use the special 'once' pvr search? From memory:
get_iplayer --pvr-add once terms
get_iplayer --pvr-add once otherterms
get_iplayer --pvr
I think you might be thinking of --pvr-queue:

That's the way to go for stacking up a set of one-off downloads. IT
also seems like the PVR functionality would suffice for most regular
downloads as well. But if that doesn't do the trick for some reason...
If I understand the OP, you're just trying to run get_iplayer multiple
times in series from within a batch file. Since Windows get_iplayer is
a batch file itself, couldn't you just make a batch file that looks
something like:
cd /d "C:\Propgram File\get_iplayer"
call get_iplayer ...
call get_iplayer ...
call get_iplayer ...
I've done something when testing and it worked well enough.
