   The only other way to do this involves using an outside command to write   
      
   set myvar=   
      
   to a file without a newline at the end, then append out.txt to that file, then   
   call that file as a batch file. If the other file were subproc.bat, the   
   command to run it would be   
      
   call subproc.bat   
      
   Without call, the first batch file would effectively end and subproc.bat   
   replace it.
