I want to send a carriage return to the same batch file that I'm currently running. This is for after I send a password, and need to press enter for the password to be accepted. I've read that pipeing ("|") works to send stuff like this to another program/batch file, but not to the same batch file.

Would anyone know how to do this? Or even know what I'm talking about? :)

echo.? pause? Not sure what you're wanting to do.

Piping sends the output of one command into another as a parameter (I think). If you want to store the output in a file, use the > operator. So PrintStuff > MyFile.txt will redirect whatever output PrintStuff has into MyFile.txt.

You're thinking of backticks, and then only on certain command interpreters. Piping attachs stdout of the source process to stdin of the destination process. For instance, ls -l | grep foo requests a long listing with ls -l, then feeds all that ls -l prints into grep, which is told to look for 'foo'. grep reads its input and prints lines which contain foo.
