It works for me.

I recently had to change a bunch of DOS batch files from the D: directory
to the C: directory. I changed a few files manually in XyWrite 3.56, and
recorded the keystrokes with Scroll Lock. Then I created a loop with a
label at the top and a GL at the end.

I just tried it again and it works. The program was:

«LBSTART»BC CA *.BAT
BC CH \D:\C:\
BC ST XC EN «GLSTART»

Of course there's no code in there to stop the program when it's done. It's
easier to hit Ctrl-Break than to add the code to stop the program.
