Can a MEL script be run from a DOS command line?
I need to know how to run a MEL script from a DOS command line and have that script affect all files in a specific folder.

yep. It's the system command. Works as such:

Usage:

system ("whatever you might write in DOS goes here in the form of a string");

Note: if your command uses special characters like quotes then you must escape them with a \

Example:

system("start C:/WINNT/NOTEPAD.EXE" );
