Windows 2000 and DOS - Write a Mini Batch File On the Command Line

SUMMARY: Combine several DOS commands on one line with Windows 2000.

Need to execute a series of commands but don't want to write a batch file? Enter in your DOS commands on the command line, separated by ampersands (&).

For example, the following command copies file.1 to file.bak, info.lst to info.bak, and ipaddresses.nfo to ipaddresses.bak:

copy file.1 file.bak & copy info.lst info.bak & copy ipaddresses.nfo ipaddresses.bak
