yeah, but you need to double up all the % on the left side of any >> in the script, and you need to define value of %saveas% set saveas=xxx.bat ... ... echo if %%quit%%==Q goto quit >> %saveas%.bat echo if %%quit%%==E goto exit >> %saveas%.bat

thx so much ive been over and over this for days

Some characters need (can use) the caret sign to prevent them from being interpreted too early, example: D:\Temp>echo ^%PATH^% %PATH% D:\Temp> ... where omitting the caret sign (^) would just parse %PATH% directly and show content straight away.
