[Ham-Computers] Help with batch file?

    I'm afraid that doesn't do anything.

    I found a site on the web that has helped some. What I have so far is

CD C:\Ham Radio\DXKeeper\
START DXKeeper637
TYPE NUL | CHOICE.COM /N /CY /TY,7 >NUL
CD C:\Ham Radio\Commander\
START CI-V Commander699

    This starts DXKeeper perfectly. The next line pauses the program for 
7 seconds, while DXKeeper actually opens. It then changes directories to 
Commander okay, but won't recognize CI-V Commander699. I suspect that is 
due to the space in the file name between the V and the C. Can't figure 
out how to address that.

    In answer to the coming question, I'm not using the DXLab Launcher, 
because this startup is to run MultiPSK with only a couple of selected 
programs from DXLabs.

Thanks for any help!
