) I having a problem writing a batch file.  I need a batch file which will go
) to a c:›Temp directory and delete every file in the directory except for
) a file named gest.bat.  The batch must be written in such a way they the
) user will not get a message asking Yes/No (Y/N) in response to deleting
) the files , which limits your use of wildcard deletes like del *.*.
) 

If your using 4DOS/NDOS you can use:

except (C:\233Temp\gest.bat) del /q/y c:\233Temp\*.*

/y forces Y (i.e. or are not asked if your sure)
/q means quite mode (i.e. no info on files being deleted)
