    I would assume that it is certainly NOT light reading!

    This is still a good book? What is it's TOC (Table of Contents)?

    I use "CMD your computer (2015)" by Cask J. Thomson. This covers the History and is right up to date with CMD commands that have been implemented since MS-DOS 6, and some depreciated features. Admittedly, it says very little about programming Batch files.

    I have no idea what is inside of DG's books -- I just remembered emailing him years ago, during my WFW3.11 days (I think), sent him a sample of one of my batch-files, he gave a compliment :)

    I don't allow Google access to my computers, but if you look for it on Google Books, you might find the TOC.

    No, I looked too. Thanks for the suggestion.
