Hi,

There's an essay by Eric S. Raymond entitled "How to ask questions the
smart way" which I'd refer you to, but unfortunately the site seems to
be down at the moment.

In any case, this would have been easier if you showed us what you
tried and what happened, rather than saying "it simply doesn't work."
I am forced, therefore, to guess.

Anyway, it's just like programming in many other languages; strings
are in double quotes, and backslashes, which have special meaning,
should be doubled. So did you try

        (batch "C:\\Wherever\\my test.clp")

That should work fine. If you've neglected to double the backslashes,
or neglected to enclose the path in double quotes, then you'll indeed
get a "file not found" error. If the file is in the current directory,
you can dispense with the full path, and just write

        (batch "my test.clp")

Anyway, if you think you're doing the right thing but the wrong thing
is happening in response, then please show use precisely what you did
and what happened.
