Only, among other issues, if you type the full path to the
batch file, or if it's in the current directory.  This
approach fails if you put the batch file in a directory
somewhere along your path.

There are only a couple of useful ways to do this sort of
thing under Windows operating systems, and the easiest by
far is to abandon any support for Windows 98 and just use
the PATHEXT support in Windows NT/XP and friends.
