Has anybody experimented with the GIMP's batch mode?
It works fine when typing the commands that the GIMP should excecute on the 
command line, i.e.
   gimp -b -i '(command1)' '(command2)' '(gimp-quit 0)'

What I cannot get to work, is to put the commands into a text file and call 
that with something like
   gimp -b -i batchjob.txt

Part of the problem is that I'm not sure how the batchjob.txt should be 
referenced, and the second problem is that I have no idea how the commands 
should be formated inside batchjob.txt itself. Logic tels me that either 
   (command1) 
   (command2)
or 
   '(command1)' 
   '(command2)'
should work - but no. I'm obviously missing something here.

Google was not much help either, nor gimp.org or grokking-the-gimp. There is 
surprising little information out there (that I could find).  I tried a few 
other search engines too, but nothing.

Can batch mode possibly be that obscure?  It is an extremely powerfull feature.
