   That complication is so the batch can do multiple runs but still ID data   
   to review. I will simplify with "outside" run numbering and renaming   
   data files after the main part of the batch like:   
      
   SET _NN=0   
   :_DoIt   
   SET /A _NN=%_NN% + 1   
   [ batch cmds without %_NN% ]   
   [ REN F:\xxxx.xxx to %_NN%xxxx.xxx ]   
   [ run again will be manual using CHOICE GOTO _DoIt]
