Yes, batch files will work just fine by using variables to reference 
paths, documents; I do that all the time with fp menu's scripts

set fn = "someFile"
set fp = "c:\appl\fp\rreport"
set fo = "someFormat"
set fz = "someProcessing"
set fy = "someProcessing"
set fv = "someProcessing"

%fp% %fn% -f %fo% -z %fz% -y %fy% -v %fv% ...

I use this when the command is so long that it cannot fit in a single line.


If I am not mistaken, network/mapped drives may be restricted by user 
and if that is the case, what happens if user cannot see/access the 
mapped drive?  Move on to the next possible path?
