The way i wanted to do this is invoke tha batch file whti a
value eg. download 15.

Not 15 would be the value for the IP address and LAN account.
but the problem os that i cannot put it in the config.tel file.

The way to direct it from stdin is easy just type
edlin filename < file2

where file2 would be all the commands for edlin.
