Usage of PHDFM in batch

[Robert J.M. Edis]

G'day all

I am trying to construct a batch process to re/create all the RMS files in a
PHD (Alpha, OVMS 7.1, PH7.10G1).  I have tried the following methods but
none seem to be reliable.

1.	$!
$PHDFM filename1
$PHDFM filename2
$etc
$exit

2.	$!
$PHDFM
filename1
filename2
etc

$!
$exit

3.	$def qkin create_files.com !script built from using a QKECHO define
and manually CREATing a couple of files.
$POW
$deass qkin
$exit

In the first case I couldn't pass the filename as a parameter to PHDFM.  In
the second, some files get created but then PHDFM ignores a bunch, builds
some more and exits on the blank line.  In the third, sometimes the input
stream wants a <Return> and sometimes it doesn't causing some 'unknown
entry' type messages.

Has anybody had better results?  What am I doing wrong?  There are over 400
file creates in all.

TIA
