I'm sorry, I just tried it and you can't put a space between echo and 
the period.  so it's "echo.",
not "echo ." like i put in my example.

i'm not sure how to do the former, but the latter is ".r     "

i'd create a subbatch file that does those three lines and instead of
%ROUTER_INTERNAL_INTERFACE% use %1 and then shift and recall subbatch 
file.  If you
like I can play around with it and get some working code.

Another approach would be to use for. It's ironic that you want to use 9 
variables, because i believe
DOS has a limit of 9 parameters, so if you do the recursive approach it 
will just barely make it.
