Batch files are scripts that are interpreted by theh command interpreter.

You could use the function system to execute the batch file.

You could get the command interpreter name from the environment variable 
COMSPED, append a space and then the batch file name.  Then use one of 
WinExec, CreateProcess or ShellExecute to execute the command.

By doing the above with CreateProcess you can get the handle of the process 
that was started.  You could then use that handle to determine when the task 
is done.
