I have a program I use, mControl. This program allows control of x10 and INSTEON systems. My question is this, could I create a batch program to chance a particular setting within the program. My reason for this is to have remote voice command control to execute the batch which would in turn produce the desired result. Thanks for anyone spending any time on this.

It depends on how mControl is built. First of all it have/support a command line interface. For example, if you can write mcontrol.exe /some command, and the program executes something then exits again, it will be possible to use a batch to feed it.

you may be able to use:
mcontrol.exe < textfile.txt
Breakdown < - put whatever said here into previous program textfile.txt - List of commands
Example using chkdsk echo Y > y.txt chkdsk c: /f /x < y.txt
