 We who?  The thread was about applying Windows updates to a Win9X
 system from a CD using batch programming.  You made the leap to Win3.1,
 W2K and XP when puzzled about my reply to Tom about how the batch would
 handle rebooting.

 The feature, which WAS called MSDOS mode when it first came out in
 Win95, may have been renamed for 98/98SE, but is unique to Win9X.
 AFAIK, the particular command that provides the reboot may work only
 in versions of Win9X, because the switches for command.com may well
 be unique to the version(s) of command.com that are provided with
 Win9X.

 I never suggested that batch programming would work for any other OS
 line than Win9X.
