   When you code a batch file do you have patterns that help when you compose   
   them?   
      
   For example I always start off a batch file with a line in the form   
      
   @echo off % mybatchfilename.bat %   
      
   Note the spaces after the first % and before the final % character.   
   I put those there just to make sure I don't accidentally match an actual   
   variable name.   
      
   That way the content of the batch file carries the name of the batch file.   
      
   I am curious if anyone has things like that that help you compose batch files.
