bat files
aka batch files, are scripts, originally for DOS, and later for Windows with the extension bat. You can write scripts to automate running a series of programs. GUIs have made this automation more and more difficult over the years. The syntax of bat files is revolting and amateurish. Take Command is a improved version of the bat file syntax. A program called cmd.exe interprets the text in a bat file and executes the corresponding commands. A bat file is not directly executable, though you can put its name on the command line and have a copy of cmd.exe interpret it for you.
