:: See where your batch is going wrong.  Generate a log! 
:: 
:: Drag and Drop the batch file you wish to test on this batch file.  
:: Alternately, you could start your batch as a parameter to this one.
:: 
:: BE SURE TO TURN THE ECHO ON in the batch file you wish to test to 
:: log everything and get the full effect.  
:: 
:: When testing batch that calls code in different batch files, you may
:: need to make additional modifications to each batch you are actually 
:: trying to run.  (e.g. turn ECHO ON as stated above in each.)
::
:: Console output of your original batch will be disabled during this 
:: test so know well where your "any key" and/or input prompts are.
