   (Sorry for the delay replying; life isn't always particularly easy for me.)   
      
   The batch does not ask for anything. It's simplest to just run it in the top   
   folder you want it to work in.   
      
   Say you want to copy all .ino files in "C:\Users\terry\Dropbox\Electronics\",   
   and all subfolders, to .txt files. Put the batch file in that folder and then   
   just double-click it (or select it and press Enter). You can't pick and   
   choose which files get copied, nor can you decide which folders to look in --   
   every .ino file in every subfolder will get copied. Anything more complicated   
   than that is veering dangerously beyond my attention span, sorry.   
      
   --   
   I'm not sure, but I might want to rephrase that later.
