.bat as in:

       --
      |  |
      |  |
      |  |
      |  |
      |  |
      |  |
      |  |
      |  |
      ',,'
       ||
       ||
       || 
ejm97  )(
 (__)

or:


                   /^v^\
         /^v^\                      /^v^\
ejm 96          /^v^\                          

       /^v^\


?  (my idea of a little joke) 

Okay, I saved it as a .bat and here is what came up:

------------------------------------------------------
C:\WINDOWS>end
Bad command or file name

C:\WINDOWS>
C:\WINDOWS>
C:\WINDOWS>/*make adjustments to text if necessary */
Bad command or file name

C:\WINDOWS>do while l<200
Bad command or file name

C:\WINDOWS>   the text=the text||heart||the text
Syntax error

C:\WINDOWS>   l = length(thetext)
Bad command or file name

C:\WINDOWS>end
Bad command or file name

C:\WINDOWS>
C:\WINDOWS>
----------------------------------------------------------

Please advise.
