run bat files in multiple command windows (dos shells)

Question

I am new to working with bat files.

I have a program that basically does the following:

• Write multiple bat files in different sub-folders inside a single main folder at once

• The program itself utilizes a command :

  "start bat_file_name"
  

( where bat_file_name is derived from the code say bat1,bat2,bat3)

With this the bat files are executed sequentially one after another in single shell. Is there any modification to the above command with which I can run those bat files in different shells or basically run the files in parallel in separate shells?

Any ideas would be helpful.Thanks.

The start command should already do what you need. I've just tried it here and several start commands in a batch file ran in parallel.
