It includes program and sample-files.

BATSH.EXE (v2.28) 
-----------------
To run Windows commands from a file.
Line by Line.
Like BATCH (.BAT) files in DOS,
but with some windows specific commands,
and not all the DOS features.

Installation
------------
Place the files BATSH.EXE and BATSH.HLP together anywhere on the disk.

Save the text file with the extension .BSH

Windows 3.1:
Associate with File-Manager the program BATSH.EXE. [File - Associate...]. 
Include the program path in the association.
To install your command-file in Program-Manager, you can drag the file
with the mouse from File-Manager to a Program-Manager group.For this
procedure, both File- and Program-Manager must be visible on the screen. 
You can change the icon shown in Program-Manager with the menu
[File - Properties...]

Windows95:
Click with the right mouse button on the new file and choose [Open With]
from the menu. Select BATSH as program to use. If the BATSH program is
not shown in the selection, you must search it with the [Other..] option.
Activate the box [Always use this program...]

Run your new command-file with a double click on the file-name.
