Win NT ".BAT" CODE

o The following is a simple BAT file that when run will show
  some good examples of BATCH options for WIN95 and NT DOS (NOT REGULAR DOS)

#d# This represents a "self documenting" feature. You can extract
#d# JUST the lines with "#d#" when at the dos prompt via
#d#       FIND/I "#D#" THISFILE.BAT    (dos WIN)
#d#       FINDSTR/I "#D#" THISFILE.BAT (NT)
#d# (Other REM will NOT appear)
#d#
#d# FOR THE ACTUAL CODE FOLLOWING:
#d# o The CLS clears the screen
#d# o The TITLE sets the window title
#d# o The E C H O. displays a blank line
#d# o The "echo (small circle character)" causes a BEEP. It was
#d#   inserted via WordPerfect using the "ctrl-G" combination, then
#d#   "Ctrl-F5" to save as a DOS file.
#d# o Use can use EDIT with ctrl/p then ctrl/g also
#d# o The first 2 IF statements enable a HELP. The check on variable
#d#   number 0 is if the command and the switch were together
#d#   (NO SPACE)
#d# o The 1st check on variable 1 is for if there was a space between
#d#   the command and the switch
#d# o The 2nd variable 1 check is if NO variable was given
#d# o The 3rd variable 1 check controls what to do if the file is NOT
#d#   found
#d# o The PAUSE causes a prompt to appear
#d# o Paragraph names are CaSe SeNsItIvE, so if the GOTO name
#d#   is UPPERCASE, so MUST the :NAME entry.
#d# o Paragraph names max is 8 digits with truncation at 8 digits
