It echoes... try these:
echo Merry Christmas
echo Kate
echo Merry Christmas %username%!
These user variables continue to be in place in all NT versions, some of
them were probably in place in Windows 3.x and Windows 95, the 'ol' pros

Batches written for NT4 will run on XP as long as they are not trying to
execute unknown or forbidden commands, and vice-versa.
If you want help with the batch file you need to reveal more of its
contents or you should reveal the source of the file. 'Delay' is not a
valid Windows command, this is probably just pinging the loopback
adapter for 30 seconds. Try this inoffensive command:
ping google.com
now get your stopwatch and time this:
ping google.com -n 29
