how to do it with command line, please could someone tell me the secret
codes?

The simplest of commands for one file would be:

openscad -o file.stl file.scad

You could repeat this using whatever looping construct is available in
your shell. (For windows, it's been so long I can't remember the
syntax.) For bash, you could do

for f in *.scad; do openscad -o ${f/scad/stl} $f; done

Personally, I use a Makefile with an appropriate rule for converting
any .scad file into a .stl.

%.stl: %.scad
$(OPENSCAD) -o $@ $<

If it helps, equivalent in a Windows batch fiile is :

for %%f in (*.scad) do echo openscad -o %%~nf.stl %%f

That should be

for %%f in (*.scad) do openscad -o %%~nf.stl %%f

of course.

I'll change to a new email soon, save from the pop routing errors.

in the end i had a .bat file with text:
for %%f in (*.scad) do openscad -o %%~nf.stl %%f

written in it, and i had to set the PATH using this else it didnt recognize
openscad:

*** GUIDE FOR SETTING WINDOWS PATH ENTRIES FOR CMD.EXE:***
Start the System Control Panel applet (Start - Settings - Control Panel -
System).
Select the Advanced tab.
Click the Environment Variables button.
Under System Variables, select Path, then click Edit.
You'll see a list of folders, as this example for my system shows:
C:\Program Files\Windows Resource
Kits\Tools;%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program
Files\Support Tools;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Roxio
Shared\DLLShared;C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ulead Systems\MPEG;C:\Program
Files\Intel\DMIX;C:\Program Files\Executive Software\Diskeeper;C:\Program
Files\Bonjour;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem;C:\Program Files\Misc
You can add additional folders that you want to include in searches. I add a
"C:\program files\misc" entry into which I place my standalone utilities,
instead of copying them into C:\windows. Click OK.
You'll need to restart the processes (e.g., command prompt) that use the
system path to see the added folders.

I ran the command on some files from kit wallace's website for a test and
about 1/3rd of the .scad files were processed.

So i ran it on a couple of dozen of my .scad files and only 1/20 files was
processed. If i run the program without the -o command, it opens 20 windows
at once, all of them have empty code windows except for one of them that had
one line of code in it.

ok it seems like it's working although perhaps it's not totally there, here
is what i did:

had to rename all the files with spaces " " to "_" because cmd.exe didn't
see them,

to do that:

1/ run powershell.exe from system3d/windowspowershell or just the run
console
2/ type cd "D:\my dir\batch dir"
3/ do this powershell command: Dir | Rename-Item –NewName { $.name
–replace “ “,”” }
4/ then run the script from a .bat file... FOR %%f in (*.scad) DO openscad
-o %%_nf.stl %%f

we can also write batch files from powershell for windows it's the new
cmd.exe since 2009 it has more flexibility and more ledgible, but it's still
an entirely new code so only for those who want to learn powershell syntax.

You can put file names in double quotes for spaces and the like,
but I strongly recommend make.

Just my $0.02
