Would appreciate help from net members with recommendations answering 
the following question:

What books or programs contain the the most systematic instructional
and reference material on DOS batch file programming?  I have already
consulted my DOS 3.1 manual, and own Microsoft's books Running MSDOS
and Supercharging MSDOS.  There are a zillion books now covering
MSDOS.  Which have you found unusually helpful in this respect?

My main interest is in creating and enhancing batch file menu/user
interface systems.  I have opted for these rather than menu programs
because of the ease of changing things and reuiring very few add-ons.

Replies may be E-mailed (unless you mailer chokes on my address) and
I will of course summarize useful responses.  Thanks in advance.
