Something like the following, using an incomplete template and adding 
your own specific entries?

@echo off
COPY /Y SYSLINUX.ORG SYSLINUX.CFG
echo specific_command_here >> SYSLINUX.CFG
rem additional lines here also)


The easier way might be to look into that 'ADV' area that Syslinux 
binaries have. That area is able to hold the entry (a syslinux.cfg 
label) for what to boot next time. Acts as a one-time only setting if I 
remember correctly.
