Running a Batch File in Query Analyzer

Hi,
I have to run a batch file in query analyzer. How do I do that.
I don't want to use 'xp_cmdshell'
Please advise
(An example would be great)

I answered this question in the microsoft.public.sqlserver.programming.
Please don't post the same question independently to different groups
because that causes duplicate effort among the parties involved. You can
instead post the question once to all relevant groups so that the all
responses are tracked as a single thread.
Hope this helps.
