Got it!!!

Even though EXECUTE looks like a function, any variables defined in
the string are inherited by the next level up. So the easy thing to
do is

1. Open the passed file using OPENR
2. Read the contents of the batch file into a string variable.
3. Use EXECUTE to, well, execute the string variable.

So this is the exact same as @batch_name, but this way I don't need
to know the batch file name a priori, at the expense of a few lines of
code.

YAY!

PS Brian I will use the file_copy trick in future. Good tip!
