Not to take anything away from Pete, since its useful to try these things,
but here's another way to to it:

(from a CLI window)

run copy filename1 to prt: +
copy filename2 to prt: +
     .
     .
     .
copy filenamen to prt:

----------------------------

If you want formfeeds between files, put in an echo statement between files,
like:

echo > prt: "^L"
(control L is the formfeed)

to get the full, raw effect, copy to par: instead of prt:

You could also make it into a DOS execute file, with parameters.
