That was really the whole point of script in the
first place -- to go beyond the simple DOS command
line in order to provide more options and GUI
possibilities. So if you want an HTA then why not use
the tool that goes with it? If you want to use DOS/batch
...aren't there groups for that? I just did a search of
MS newsgroups and only came up with this:

microsoft.public.win2000.cmdprompt.admin

This group is ok, but hasn't much traffic recently.

I'm not sure what to search for other than "cmd".
There are no groups with "batch" in the name, and
not much in the way of groups with "dos" in the name.

What about the group: alt.msdos.batch.nt

In any case, this is a VBScript group.

His question addressed HTA, should be the proper group though.

It's a bit unclear what OP wants to nice up.

A good learning source might be scriptomaticv2. You have several
output options to choose from :
cmdline, text, html, xls
