I was always thinking on the DOS level in codepage 850 but used a Windows ANSI editor to write the script. Using the old DOS EDIT editor makes it clear in a moment.  
But I could not find out why it has worked for me and not for you.

There is a new version of the CFP tool attached. Now official release v1.00.  
I hope the code is self explaining. There are user configurable sections.  
Beside setting a folder root permanently in the code, the script can be called with one parameter as the root folder to be used for the current run.  
A folder can also be dropped onto the cmd file icon and will be used as the root folder for the current run.

This thread should not be buried in the forums.  
I was looking for the exact same thing.

Thank you DetlevD for creating this script. It still works and is very useful.
