I accidentally deleted a ms-word file using an MS-Dos Batch file and now I cant get it back using the usual methods (ctrl-z or retrieval from recycle bin). How do I get something back that's been deleted in dos?

You'll need some form of undelete prog. Google for it, you may be able to get a copy of MS-DOS undelete. Try no to do too much saving new files/altering of existing files until you do - maximise your chances of the deleted file being intact.
