Sorry, that should be the "-O" option. For example:
curl -O http://---------------------/file.zip
.. will download the file and name it "file.zip".
The "-o" option is only if you want to name the local file ("-o local.zip").
To provide an example, the WGET.BAT wrapper should be fairly straightforward:
curl -O %1
