Mike, 

I would suggest copying admin.-1 to admin1.bat and then call admim1.bat.

However, if you need to run this option from the menu option just run, add the
command line under the first one.

@\fp\rreport foobar -f myreport -v sel_this -ia -a -u
@\fp\rclerk foobar2 -s1 -xi 

You can have as many command line as you need.  I have one menus option that
runs 12 different processes.

There really is no need to call anything.
