If you really care you could wrap it so that it could be invoked
several times. But even so, this is not the remedy of all batch file
problems. One has to use 4DOS or write a real program for all the
serious stuff. Batch file tricks are just like three-legged races.
Slow, funny  and cumbersome yet challenging and sometimes even
quite funny.
