Is there any way, when you open a system window, to tell it to run a batch file.
I'd like to create a mapkey that opens a system window which calls a batch file to examine a file and tell the user what start models were used to create it.

I think that you can accomplish this by using the @SYSTEM keyword in your mapkey definition:
mapkey mbf @MAPKEY_LABELRun MY_BATCH_FILE (mbf);\
@SYSTEMstart c:\\MY_MAPKEYS\\MY_BATCH_FILE.bat;
MY_BATCH_FILE.bat should probably end with "exit" in order to close the window after it is done...
Pro/TIP: note how the actual string to be typed to trigger the mapkey (mbf) was included in the MAPKEY_LABEL - this makes it easy to "recall" what the mapkey is later on by using the "Command Search" box in the Creo ribbon.
In above, searching for "batch" will bring up a list which will have an entry "Run MY_BATCH_FILE (mbf)".
