In your batch script just put "call" in front of get_iplayer thus: call get_iplayer ... The reason you see the behaviour is that on windows (only) get_iplayer is a batch file, and the design of the command processor in windows is such that running another batch file replaces the existing one. To resolve this you "call" a batch file, and then control returns to the calling script afterwards.
