    Where? In any case, batch is probably not the best way to do this. Do you mean real MS-DOS or Windows command?

      This is beyond the capabilities of Batch...Visual Basic  ;)

      Not in MS-DOS, unless you mean VB 1.0 for DOS. More likely have to be QBasic.

        The title says "MS-DOS batch file" and the post refers to the serial port, which says "MS-DOS" to me.

          True...But still Batch is way out of this capability, QBasic would be the alternative.

                Back in the dark ages I used some form of Microsoft BASIC to read and write from serial ports. Almost any version of MS Basic will read and write the COM ports.
                But has he tested it user a terminal?
                Send out the codes manual, or cut and past?

                There is all that baud rate, odd or even or no parity, start and stop bits stuff to know about and set up.
