   I found this post and it's exactly what i need but i can't get it working   
   'cause i'm completely new in working with batch files. Do i get it right that,   
   when i copy the sample program (::TimeRun.bat  ..up to..  :end) into a   
   test.bat file and then    
   manually enter "test" + tap "enter" at the dos prompt in the right directory,   
   while my pc time < 8am, it should show on the screen "Command line for your   
   batch file goes here." ? Well, it doesn't, not even when i leave the line   
   "@echo off" : please help !
