echo Welcome to ANDD, a handy little batch file.  Most programming languages allow
echo you to use words such as "or" and "and" to make programs easier to create.
echo I've been annoyed for quite a while that you couldn't use the word "and" in
echo MS-DOS.  Of course, not that one would expect you to be able to, but how
echo convenient is it to tell your computer to simultaneously copy, rename, delete,
echo and exit all at once?  So while it works you can just sit back and relax.
echo.
echo That is the function of ANDD.  Type your list of commands with this syntax:
echo "ANDD {command} and {command2} and {command3} {etc.}"
echo.
echo Parameters: /E - echo every command and tell you when the list is finished.
echo                   e.g. "ANDD /E copy 1.txt 2.txt and edit 2.txt and exit".
echo             /S - uses the next word in the command line instead of "and".
echo                   e.g. "ANDD /S then echo This and that. then echo See?"
echo.
echo If both parameters are used at once, they must be entered in order.
echo.
echo If you like this very simple batch program, tell me about it by emailing
echo me at the following address:
echo DSRfeedback@yahoo.com
echo.
echo Thanks for using ANDD!
