get_iplayer and Windows batch files

[Clive]

I use get_iplayer at the prompt in both Windows and Linux. In Windows, I 
have tried using batch files in the past - when I wamt a number of d/l 
and want to automate them. I have found that it does not work. The batch 
file runs get_iplayer and the first item is duly d/l but then I am 
returned to the command prompt and the second and subsequent batch lines 
never run. Is there a way to use get_iplayer from batch files (or from 
the Linux equivalent) for multiple items?

Thank you.
