Pass sqlplus Parm thru DOS ?

I'm writing a DOS batch for WIN NT to do a number of things including executing an sql block. The sql invocation goes something like this:

sqlplus @'name of sql file'

That works fine, but I would like to communicate something from the sqlplus functions back to the calling batch file. Is there some way that I can pass a parameter to sqlplus? Or is there a better way to get this done?

I'm still somewhat new to all this.
Thanks for your help,
