I think the book you're reading now is the definitive book... here's a review i found on it..

This is THE book you've been waiting for if you are writing or managing batch files under Windows NT. If you think the NT command prompt is just another DOS box, think again. Then find this book and check it out ! This is REAL scripting, the kind that can really accomplish amazing things you didn't even think possible. Includes thorough description of powerful but little known revamped batch commands. All with usage examples, tips and techniques in how to leverage their power, how to get over the known bugs or limitations. Teaches and shows how to write clean, readable, rigorous and unbelievably powerfull command files. Half the book is filled up with really great command files. If you ever thought scripting is just for the Unix crowd, think again, and get this book ! Combined with the NT Resource Kit utilities, a few other indispensable shareware comand line tools, even standard tools, makes for an extremely powerful combination. Really unique in its category and kind. I don't know how I ever lived without it. For the Power User or Advanced NT Administrator only.
Easy to read...complete Shell Scripting reference...affectionately known as the 'bible' of Shell Scripting. A MUST have!
