John,

As far as I can tell, the sysparm option DOES work with batch SAS under Windows 95. However, arguments in command line is wrong. Here is an example of good one.

D:\SAS611\SAS.EXE -config d:\sas611\config.sas -sysparm testing.sas -sysin d:\temp\testing.sas -icon

the log goes to d:\sas611\testing.log

Hope this helps.
