I know this sounds stupid, but here it goes. I've written a batch file that copies my working Outlook and archive PST files to a location on another hard drive for redundancy purposes. The batch file works fine, but there is something odd about the text during execution. I have a REM command with a brief description of what the batch file does, and a pause command that makes the batch file wait for a key to be pressed for execution. Now here is where it gets odd. The REM and pause command are showing up in the command window as text.

I wrote it in Notepad. It's not rich text, just a plain old text file. Any idea why these are showing up as text when the batch file is executed? I'm guess it's do to the way the command prompt is handled in Windows 7, but thought I'd ask.
