Answer 1

for better control of unwanted trailing spaces/tabs just write it in brackets:

@echo off
(echo    --------------------------------------------------------------------------)
(echo                           WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO)
(echo    --------------------------------------------------------------------------)
