Well, I think it's just a command line requirement in DOS.
I tried
C:\>d:\srik.bat
and that worked fine.
However, when I inserted a space after the "d:\", and tried
C:\>d:\ srik.bat
reported
The name specified is not recognized as an
internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Both strings were executed on the "cmd.exe" on WinNT.

Modern UNIXes have no sense of humour. I tried typing ``nawk nawk'' and it just sat there.
