Setting up a batch file at the C:\ Prompt

[Bob Perreault]

I use to know how to set up batch files in DOS a long
time ago, but I forgot!

Can anyone tell me how to do this when I am in the "C:\
Prompt" under Windows XP?

Thanks

type
copy con filename.bat
<enter your commands>
Press Ctrl + Z then Enter

Notepad is easier.
