Ok I have learned html and other coding languages but I don’t fully understand a .bash file. Can some one give me the run down on what they are for and what can be done with one? .bash ? looks like I inadvertently skipped learning bash code structure. Help is appreciated and can I run bash on my windows xp?

hmm myou should tell us more explicit questions then we can answer you better...

so a .bat file you can write in notepad(like necrix said)it run allways over cmd.exe, that mean mean its a dos language (correct me if im wrong pls).
bat is a very very easy to learn language but can be very usefull, at end you can code tools for nearly all, like viri,trojans,e-net tools etc.
i hope this is usefull for you.

not 100% correct....

it depends on the commands in the file, bash and batch are pretty the same, but because bash is used on Linux is uses the Linux syntax and also the commands (apps) on Linux systems...and many apps are not available on MS, and even if they are the option switches are different sometimes.
but yes, you can edit a bash file in notepad....but never in Word because it'll convert it into the MS format then which can't be read by the bash shell (or better said it is misinterpreted)...
