Script directories with French accent characters..

I have unsuccessfully use regular dos batch files to create directories with
french accent characters. They come out anything but French like. The
batch file worked well when the directories are in English only. Can anyone
suggest a technique or a tool to "md" many french directories in a script?
It works on my Win2K computer too when the command is pasted into a dos prompt. But the same command in a DOS batch file will create the accented e as an accented upper U instead. Some accented characters even got translated as a totally different symbol.
md "Aluminerie de Bécancour Inc.2004" This gives me the upper U in place of the accented e.
md "École des Hautes Études Commer2004" I got nowhere near the accented upper E.
Run the two commands in a dos batch file and see if it works for you.
Thank you and much appreciated. DT

You need to use an ascii editor like EDIT.COM to create a batch file containing extended characters not an ansi editor like NOTEPAD.EXE.
