.Bat is ok. .Cmd is just NT Specific.
>From NT Help:
Batch programs (also called batch files) allow you to simplify routine or
repetitive tasks. A batch program is an unformatted text file that contains
one or more commands and has a .BAT or .CMD filename extension. When the
filename is typed at the command prompt, the commands in the file are
executed sequentially.
