Like in some languages,
MessageBox(string message)
Alarm(string message)
that kind of thing, popping up a Windows dialog box to display a prompt message

Re foxandmonkey: You can dynamically create VBS and JS scripts in a batch file to call the corresponding objects and methods, and then just use the statement below to invoke them. For specifics, you can check Windows Help. However, this already loses the purity of batch files, and I haven’t studied it in depth. You can look up materials related to scripting. Also, Wbat supports a quasi-MessageBox on the command line; you can look into that too. cscript

It doesn’t need to be that complicated, really. It’s just to give the user a popup prompt window. Maybe XP already has a program like that which can be called directly. For example, you can use shutdown -s -t 888 -c"Batch task completed" to display the message "Batch task completed", though this isn’t really a practical example.
