Hello!
Looked at an exciting example on the site:
ImageMagick v6 Examples -- Creating Thumbnails and Framing
Adding image labels
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/thumbnails/

I try to do / run this example in DOS (and in Autohotkey)

*convert -define jpeg:size=400x400  hatching_orig.jpg  -resize '120x200>' \
      \( +clone -matte -fill transparent -draw 'color 0,0 reset' \
         -resize 1000x200\!  -font SheerBeauty -pointsize 72 -gravity 
Center \
         -strokewidth 8 -stroke black  -fill black  -annotate 0,0 '%c' \
         -channel RGBA -blur 0x8 \
         -strokewidth 1 -stroke white  -fill white  -annotate 0,0 '%c' \
         -fuzz 1% -trim +repage -resize 115x \
      \) -gravity North -composite  -strip +repage  annotated.gif
*
Made the following translation for DOS.
*convert -define jpeg:size=400x400 Hatching_Orig.jpg -resize "120x200>" 
( +clone -matte -fill transparent -draw "color 0,0 reset" -resize 
1000x200 -font Arial -pointsize 72 -gravity Center -strokewidth 8 
-stroke black -fill black -annotate 0,0 "%c" -channel RGBA -blur 0x8 
-strokewidth 1 -stroke white -fill white -annotate 0,0 "%c" -fuzz "1%" 
-trim +repage -resize "115x" ) -gravity North -composite -strip +repage 
annotated.gif

*I don't know how to split the rows in a "batch file" (???.bat).
Therefore, everything is in the same row. (may not be visible in the email)

- Have copied "Hatching_Orig.jpg" from the web - somewhere.
- I don't understand what '% c' means or where the variable find its 
value ("Hatching of Linux")
- I don't know, how to use the font: "SheerBeauty" (here I have used 
Arial - to avoid error)
I have an font on my hard disk with the name: "c:\windows\fonts\Sheer 
Beauty Regular.ttf".
The font have the name: "Sheer Beauty" in program for example 
OpenOfficeWriter

When I type in the command:
".........-font  "Sheer Beauty" -pointsize ........" or
".........-font  "Sheer Beauty Regular.ttf" -pointsize ........"
In both cases I get the following error message in DOS:
"convert: unable to read font 'Sheer Beauty Regular.ttf' @ 
annotate.c/RenderType/807." or
"convert: unable to read font 'Sheer Beauty' @ annotate.c/RenderType/807."

My problem is that it doesn't get the expected result:
