How to run Repeat command/Command Script in sequence?

I'm trying to zip several hundreds folders into separate zip files
So I've created a batch script (.bat)
Repeating the .BAT on my list of folders using "command script" (tools menu) the computer freezes when I run it on more than 10 folders.

Is there any suggestion for running script on larger number of folders?

tnx
Mike

how does this script look like?

Hi Nikos
tnx for answering
the script is very simple
a .bat file contains this instruction: rar a "%1" "%~n1"

i see you aren't using any of the x2 tokens here

uhmm...
you mean I should go straight running the command without using a bat?
so in this case every item would run at the completion of the previous?
tnx again

@ ... every item would run at the completion of the previous?
That's the idea.

That way your 'puter is less likely to choke by being fed too many things at once.

Maybe you have reasons for using bat and command line, but just to be sure:

You know that rar or rather Winrar has an option to pack each file (or folder) in a separate archive?
