Batch Files???

[gilgamish]

It is may be a silly question. but since I dont know nothing about them, what are exactly batch files??
And is there any online reference from which I can learn more about them and about building them?
Thanks

files named .bat - they're a list of dos commands. they support a few extra commands such as menus and conditional stuff (if this then that) to add a little more functionality.

edit: this looks pretty informative. (actually the other pages in that many-page document are informative too)

Batch commands are pretty well covered in the help files as well.
