    I don't know how much of real 'scripting' is possible with it, but
    AFAIR Norton Utilities for Windows and in PC Tools for Windows both featured a macro language.
    Maybe have a look there?

    I'll take a look, I managed to get something workable going with winbatch 5. Aside from some odd Y2k issues with the date & timing functions it did work well enough - having to raise a dialog with a time delay to force my script to wait was a bit annoying but it did work.
