You may want to check a couple of things:
1. Be careful which editor you use. (Consider locating an old copy of the
MS-DOS "QEdit"
shareware program. It's small, and very clean). Or, use the DOS "EDIT"
utility. (If you
feel the need for a "windows" editor, notepad is probably your "cleanest"
choice.)
2. DOS sometimes needs an end-of-file marker (Ctrl-Z). Some things won't
recognize the last
line without it.
3. Or, if you're a *nix bigot like me, install cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com).
You'll get a
unix-like "cron" utility as well as some decent scripting tools...
