Using Tor signals on Win32 NT (eg. pseudo-signals)?

I take this back. I forgot you can invoke COM objects from Windows Script Host (WSH) scripts. WSH only requires wscript.exe, not .NET (it predates .NET by a number of years). There are countless COM objects that handle socket communications.

Let me know if you need more info.

I recommended PowerShell for Anothony because he mentioned Windows-specific batch files. Yes, PowerShell requires .NET 2.0, but since he is confined to a Windows machine does that really matter? I know some people are averse to installing .NET and, if that's the case with Anothony, then I doubt there's a viable (free) scripting solution.

I realize Torpark is cross-platform, and that is why I recommended XPCOM for it (and gave you links to learn about socket communications over XPCOM off this list).

Anothony,

Yes,  XPCOM  will be useful and certainly the solution I need. It just
so  happens  that  I don't know javascript, so the XPCOM solution will
take me a while to figure out.
