Find a book on the subject...DUH!

I don't know if Microsoft still makes them, but I learned with a book titled MS-DOS Batch Files, by Microsoft Press.

Tami, obviously batch files are not programs. There isn't much available for DOS programmers today because the operating system has become so obsolete, but Microsoft QBasic is a good example of a compiler that will allow you to create DOS .exe files. There are also non-free programs for Windows that can create DOS executables (e.g. Borland Delphi), but they require Windows to run.

Also, there's a new program out now for DOS called NovaScript. It's based on QBasic but has support for XMS memory. Download it from: http://blaklight.tekscode.com/qbcm/issues/3/

There are also many free compilers/assemblers. One of the easier "language"'s to learn might be the Moonrock compiler, which generates assembly code from a basic-like language. (I found it by using a search engine and searching for free compilers.) Borland/Inprise also will allow you to download "antique" DOS C-compilers, ie early versions of Turbo C. Of course, there's always the interpreted Qbasic that came with DOS. You should already have that on your system. DOS 5.00 also included a few sample Qbasic programs to learn from. (My personal favorite was Gorillas, still the only "video game" I've ever liked.)

Batch files are programs! Batch is
an interpretive script language much
like perl, awk and qbasic. It is a real
low level interface programming language.

You can even get batch compilers if you want
to turn batch programs into executables.
