MS-DOS Command line for batch file?

[Gillbot]

I wanna make a batch file to run three items with one click. AIM, MSN, and ICQ. I put them in a Internet.bat file but it stops after line one. What to do to get it to continue to lines 2 and three? MS-DOS is too old, i forget!!!!
Example:

C:\Progra~1\ICQ\icq.exe

C:\Progra~1\AIM95\aim.exe

C:\Progra~1\Messenger\msmsgs.exe

Actually, you don't have to do anything to go to the next line. Just put what you have there into notepad and save it with a .bat extension and it should work fine.

BTW... if you want to optimize it a bit, you could do the following:

@echo off
call C:\Progra~1\ICQ\icq.exe
call C:\Progra~1\AIM95\aim.exe
call C:\Progra~1\Messenger\msmsgs.exe
exit

my batch file is setup now as:

C:\Progra~1\ICQ\icq.exe
C:\Progra~1\AIM95\aim.exe
C:\Progra~1\Messenger\msmsgs.exe

and it stops after loading ICQ. Not sure if it makes a difference that i'm on XP also.

it stops after ICQ opens and i have to manually close it
it seems to only run line 1
