I meant, of course, something a little more different:
echo program.exe %eof% > temp.$$$
copy /a temp.$$$ temp.bat
call temp.bat
del temp.bat
But this does not change the essence.
And the use of edlin, by the way, is again hampered by the %eof% symbol.
If it is available, it is possible to create an editing script... only
now with copy /b -- for edlin, the function's input field separator
search-replace is just Ctrl-Z used.
