Thanks.

Still don't know what you mean. You want to know how an operating system works?

If I'm guessing right. He's wondering how a batch file is read. Well, a batch file interpreter
(there are different ones in different systems) reads the commands. Then it executes those commands that it reads. If it finds an error in those commands in throws out a message.
