   This should work if you start the batch with a double click   
   in explorer or by it's name in a pure cmd window. It doesn't   
   work if in the cmd window a file manager like Midnight Commander   
   is running (don't know why).

   if [%1]==[] goto :l1   
   for /f %%i in (spell.txt) do (   
     echo %%i   
     timeout /t 4 >nul)   
   exit   
      
   :l1   
   start /min %windir%\system32\narrator.exe   
   timeout /t 4 >nul   
   start "" "%~f0" xxx   
   exit
