Once introduced to your system, batch files basically become DOS commands for your system. The contain a series of DOS commands just as if you were typing them in by hand at the DOS prompt. Although batch files support elementary program flow commands such as if and goto, they are not well-suited for general-purpose programming. Many system administrators use them to automate tedious processes. Batch files are useful for running a series of executables automatically. When a batch file is run, the shell program (usually CMD.EXE or COMMAND.COM) reads the file and executes its commands, normally line-by-line. In MS-DOS and Windows, a batch file is a text file containing a series of commands intended to be executed by the command interpreter. The more you know about MS-DOS, the better prepared you will be to understand the CLI of Windows.
The commands and concepts of the command line interface (CLI) of Windows are based on the use of MS-DOS commands for backwards compatibility.
