Batch Language vs VB Scripting...

You remember Batch files, don't you? (If you don't you shouldn't bother to
read further)

In the pre-Windows world it was the near-staple of installation and file
maintenance on PCs. Since Windows 95 came along there's continued to be
support for batch language, but interfacing it with Windows is a bit of a
kluge, isn't it? As a person who made part of his old money writing batch
files for people and articles I've waited a long time for a guide for
scripting to come out that wasn't "just for C++ programmers", and have yet
to see one.

Any hints or pointers towards online or print material on this level would
be welcome.

Thanks in advance!
