I'm going to play the pedantic asshole card and say that there's no such thing as a batch plugin, because that would be third-party software in the form of .exe files that add additional features to cmd.exe. There are cmd replacements like nircmd and batbox, but there's nothing that you install that automatically adds new features.

But then again, I'm a purist; I won't even use JREPL because at that point I'm just going to write the entire code in JScript anyway.

According to definition... of a Plugin: Link - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plug-in_(computing)
In computing, a plug-in (or plugin, add-in, addin, add-on, addon, or extension) is a software component that adds a specific feature to an existing computer program. When a program supports plug-ins, it enables customization.


That is what Wikipedia said... not me... And, In a way - You yourself explained plugin while declining its usage along with batch programs. :)

No hard feelings... And, I'm Not here to fight... There is already - enough negativity in life to handle... I'm just here to learn and explore more. If Someone don't want to help... They can do me a favor... At-least keep their negative thoughts to themselves. :)

If I would think in a same manner... (Inside a rigid box of my own limitations of thinking...) Then, i'm afraid - I can never be able to make - Projects like, BatchStore, ChessClock, Typography Function, BPaints, DigitalClock (in 10 lines of code), Analog Clock...etc. etc..

Take out little time and have a look at: https://github.com/TheBATeam/BatchStore-v.1.0-By-Kvc And, its source Code + Output. :)

I appreciate the concern about being a purist, but that doesn't mean other things don't exist. We can make things possible. becasue, we are the ones who are creating them. :)

Please note: Oxygen was there, even before humans discovered it. :)
