Or you could use 4DOS, and separate multiple commands on the same line
with the '^' character.  If you don't like this character, you can
change it to whatever you want in the 4DOS.INI file, or with the
runtime SETDOS command.  Also you can do command grouping with the
()'s just like in UNIX.

(Just another plug for 4DOS. :o)
