That was it!  Thanks.  I could have swore I tried it once as
administrator.
Actually I was using XP then I was going to test on Win 2K and Win 2K3.
  Thanks for the help.  
Is there an error log somewhere that would show me that the command
failed somewhere.  I swear debugging anything in Windows is such a pain!

First thing I wanted to ask is what OS you were running but now that I
see
C:\Windows, I assume you have W2K3.

I think you don't have a syntax problem, you have a permission
problem.

If you leave the "Run As" set to default, it doesn't have permission
to
write into the root of C:. To test, simply change your script to write
to
c:\windows\temp\alert.txt instead of c:\alert.txt. It should work.

BTW "default" appears to be "Network Service" in this context.

Now the Great Karnack will make a prediction.... Soon you will post a
question "How do I keep this da*n thing running?"

It won't seem to let me enter more than one argument i.e. no
parameters
so it chokes on the /c.

I tried
c:\windows\system32\cmd /c c:\windows\alert.bat

Got "The specified program or command file does not exist""

shortened to
c:\windows\system32\cmd /c
same error

shortened to
c:\windows\system32\cmd
which it accepted.

did you try adding a cmd /c to the command line that calls the batch
file?

OK I suffering some brain-lock here. Solicitiing advice.   Seems very
simple but I am missing something here not obvious to me.

I have an Alert setup for a counter (say % CPU).  I select the option
to log to Application Event log which works great. I also check the
"Run
this program" and put the path to a batch file which echoes %1 to a
text
file (see below). This works fine on the command line.  I have the
command line arguments set to "single argument string".
Nothing happens.  I have tried putting just notepad.exe in there and
nothing.  The App event shows up so I know the alert has been
triggered.
 I am stumped.

***Alert.bat
@echo off
echo %1 >> c:\alert.txt
