What you want is something like this:

:au BufNew,BufRead *.bat :syntax off

see :help :au

   -ak

Thanks for the reply. I tried using the 'au' command you mentioned, but syntax still remains ON when I open a '.bat' file. This is one of those things I know should not be this difficult, yet the solution remains elusive.
