The easiest way to start a notebook or package file from within such a system, is to type: start foo.nb or start foo.m (The start command uses the .nb suffix to recognise that the file should be opened using Mathematica). You wouldn't write a Mathematica program in a .txt file, but in a .m file. BTW, I am a great fan of computing from the command line, and using batch files, etc - which probably reveals something about my age! However, I use a program called 4NT, which looks just like the standard CMD box, but has additional features. David Bailey http://www.dbaileyconsultancy.co.uk
