Sorry for another newbie question (this one on scripting), but...

Here is what is in the type-buy.dat file for Myriad (which is the font 
I am interested in):

# adobe myriad

--en=? --so=adobe/myriad --weight=400 --width=600 MyriadMM
--en=? --so=adobe/myriad --weight=700 --width=600 MyriadMM
--en=? --so=adobe/myriad --weight=400 --width=600 MyriadMM-It
--en=? --so=adobe/myriad --weight=700 --width=600 MyriadMM-It

--en=? --ve=adobe --co=myriad --so=adobe/myriad --ma --in MyriadMM-we*
--en=? --ve=adobe --co=myriad --so=adobe/myriad --ma --in 
MyriadMM-It-we*

--en=? --ve=adobe --co=myriad --so=adobe/myriad --sl=* MyriadMM-we*
--en=? --ve=adobe --co=myriad --so=adobe/myriad --ca=* MyriadMM-we*

Can someone please help me with the batch file (I've never written 
one), such that I get these basic fonts (normal and bold, plus the 
italic), along with, say, condensed versions of the same (let's say a 
width value of 400)?

Thanks,
Bruce
