I am trying to make a program to set up some not very easy to set up editing tools for a game easier to set up. I am wondering if it is possible for blitz3d to run the external programs (windows BATch files) upon exiting?

Maybe ExecFile?

Execfile will open any file with the corresponding default program, so it will work with EXEs, PDFs, HTML, BAT.... pretty much anything.
