Sorry for the delay.
The batch file is as follows:
~~~~
if exist c:\temp\testing\*.* goto yes
goto no
:yes
echo file exists
goto end
:no
echo file not exists
goto end
:end
~~~~
The batch file is in the dir C\temp. There are no files under dir "testing". However the output of the batch file is "file exists".

I have run the same batch file successfully on a dos pc.
Thanks for any help.

echo file exists
goto end
:no
echo file not exists
goto end
