If you are using IDL this should work.
Are your sure you placed test.bat in the correct directory?
You may
1) type the full path of test.bat
2) try just "spawn" and then type test on the spawned MS-DOS window.

Do you use IDL or pv-wave?
If you use pv-wave, it depends on the environment you use. Spawn only works
with Unix or OpenVMS
but not with windows. Take a look in the on-line help interapplication
communication of pv-wave.
