The BATCH command is used to delay execution of an arbitrary string
of monitor and possibly user commands to run programs or anything
else that can normally be done from a terminal. The BATCH command
accepts a command string and enters a LATER request to run a program
which enters the commands through a pseudo-teletype. The format is
like that of the REMIND command, except that the only relevant
switches are /DATE, /TIME, and /COUNT. The "message" is a command or
sequence of commands. A special switch, /DO, causes certain
character conversion to be done when entering the commands, as in the
DO program.
The BATCH command can be used to run a command file through a
pseudo-teletype immediately by using the /NOW switch and not giving a
date or time. Otherwise, the command must include a date and/or
time, as for REMIND.
