Batch with specific parameters?

Would it be possible to write a batch file that does the following?

  1. Opens 5+ Simbas from other batch files or shortcuts
  2. Opens them with specific size
  3. Opens them in a specific location on the screen
  4. Opens them each with scripts loaded
I know its possible, just don't know if all of those are possible.

1. Possible. Just call "start /C simba.exe -o scriptlocation/scriptname.simba -r"… -r will run it; -o will open it.
2. Not possible. You cannot resize windows with batch files without an external program.
3. Not possible. You cannot move windows with batch files without an external program.
4. See 1.

Alternative.. Run Simba with the batch file method 1.. Have Simba move itself and resize its own window. Not sure if you'd need a plugin for that but that's the best you can get. Otherwise write a program to do it.
