I'd like to see it working, so I'll see how much I can help.

Just so I'm on the right page, AFAICT, batch mode doesn't work _at all_.  
If anyone knows differently, please let me know.  I've think I've tried 
almost every possible test, including the one in the man page.  Anyway, 
this patch does allow me to read a batch written locally.  That's a 
start, at least.

Next, I'm going to see if I can figure out the hang that I mentioned 
earlier...
