Can anyone help me write a batch file to run a program.

It needs to run qbasic first..

I run it in the cmd prompt like this

c:\ats\qbasic.exe /run c:\ats\radar.bas

@echo off
cls
c:\ats\qbasic.exe /run c:\ats\radar.bas

that should I believe do it. Assuming that the /run is part of the qbasic excutable options.

it will also clear the screen before running the actual app, so in case it reports things in the console, you'll only have that appear.

By the way, QBASIC's SYSTEM command is helpful here.

When you launch a program with the /run argument, the SYSTEM command will quit the QBASIC editor as well as the program. (The END command stops the program but leaves you in the QBASIC editor)

If you're releasing this program to other people (and it looks like you are) then you probably don't want them to see the QBasic editor. So end with SYSTEM.

You can also create .EXE files from your .BAS files if you acquire QuickBasic 4.5 or QuickBasic 7.1 (a.k.a. Professional Development System or PDS)

It is possible but not legal to download QB 4.5 and 7.1.
