yes! of course!
first find one of those .EXE programs... find out what command is needed
to run the program... then include that command(whatever it is) in your
batch file sequence of commands...(batch files are .BAT files that contain
program.EXE commands to run those very same program.EXEs
i will try to help if you need it as I have several texts here on writing
MS-DOS batch files...
