i need a command which after the first line of the batchfile has been run it waits 20 seconds and then the second line runs.

Ta,

Will Greene.

Symantec made a great utility that
came with Norton utilities for DOS. it was
called be.exe or batch enhancer. It allowed
you to accomplish time based delays, as well
as other functions.
