Running a batch file

I have successfully added an outside application that consisted of an EXE file without any problems.

However, I would like to add two small applications consisting of batch files. These consists of several commands to repair or reinitialize IP addresses when encountering connection problems.

I used the same technique of adding a directory containing the batch file, but Portable apps doesn't show this new application even though I have tried the refresh applications option from the menu.

I'm probably missing something simple, but so far it still eludes me.

Is there a simple way to do this?
==================================================
Actually, I did a little research outside of the PortableApps environment and found a fairly simple way to handle at least this simple task of mine.

There are several commercial applications which will convert BAT files to EXE files (as well as some other types of script files such as VB or JS).

But for my simple application, I also found a free BAT to EXE converter at download.cnet.com. it may not have many options, but it works fine for this simple example.

Thanks
