STEP TWO:
The first thing we type is " @echo off " this simply hides the current directory location of where the file is being run from.
The next thing we type is the writing that you'll see, this can be anything but for this we are using " Hello World ", so you'll type " @echo Hello World ".

STEP THREE:
You may have noticed a problem when you open the file, a black box appears but then closes straight away. This can be fixed by typing " pause " at the end of the file.
