   No mods of registry or cmd.exe required. I have two monitors and use the   
   following first commands in all batches which is the only content of   
   "_BrightCMD.bat" which is the target for this problem's solution:   
      
   [one line sets monitor brightness which may have been reset in another   
   batch]   
   START "" /WAIT D:\_NirSoft\controlmymonitor\ControlMyMonitor.exe   
   /SetValue "\\.\DISPLAY1\Monitor0" 10 80   
      
   [one line to set cmd window title so following cmds work only on it]   
   [Note "_" becomes "." so not confused with open text editor for batch]   
   SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS & (TITLE .BrightCMD.bat) & ENDLOCAL   
      
   [one line to select monitor and cmd window location]   
   START "" /WAIT D:\_NirSoft\multimonitortool-x64\MultiMonitorTool.exe   
   /MoveWindow 1 Title ".BrightCMD.bat" /WindowLeft 100 /WindowTop 3   
      
   [one line to set size of cmd window]   
   MODE CON: COLS=100 LINES=55
