Is this your actual assignment? or something you need to do in your assignment.. The answer , anyways is a batch file...same as entering a command at the command line except you use a straight text editor to enter the command on a text doc..use a new line for each command..dos will run all (in this case two) the commands it finds in any file with the .bat extension.. eg.. mybatch.bat copy c:\myfile c:\dir1 copy c:\myfile c:\dir2
