A good command shell scripting program for Windows XP?

I am looking for a good command shell scripting program to work with MySQL at the command level. I currently use CMD and the type face is too small for me to read. I was thinking about Windows Powertoys...any ideas?

Thanks in advance....

    No - the program that uses them has to be able to read the input in that form. If it needs them in a single line, you'll have to write a program to rewrite the file into a single line. Then just tell the program to use the file as input using redirect: programname < filename You can't easily write a batch file (that's about the only "script" available on the command line) that will rewrite the format of a text file - it would have to call an external program to do that. Some command-line programs can take files as input - the command would be in the general form of programname -i filename or prgramname @filename
