In win9x it was easy to debug a batch file. from a command prompt you type "command /y/c filename.bat" and it would run in step mode allowing you to watch its execution. Does anyone know how to the equivalent in Win2k or XP?

How about this simple trick:
-put "pause" after every step you'd like to check before it scrolls off the screen
-put "echo on" at the beginning to see the execution of every line.

Loss of another tool. Well another reason to stay away from 2k or XP.

I cant understand how people live with out batch files, and why soo many dont care.
