Update Cell key-in for batch process?

Question

I have not been able to find a key-in for the Update Cell tool. Does such a thing exist? I would like to use Batch Process to update sheet border cells in multiple sheet models in several dgns.

I had to make one minor edit but it worked for me. I just wish I knew how to tell it sheet models only. 
 choose all replace cells extended selview 1 choose none

to set the sheet model the keyin is from help

MODEL ACTIVE <model_name> 
 pays to use 
 fit view extended 
 file design ( at the end) 
 so in your case the modified script reads 
 ------------------------------------------- 
 MODEL ACTIVE SHEET 
 FIT VIEW EXTENDED 
 choose all replace cells extended selview 1 choose none 
 FILE DESIGN 
 ----------------------------------- 
 This then saves th changes so the sheet model is saved as the default on next opening too...

Remember it pays to name the sheet model always the same name and case sensitive mine here is in this example SHEET be careful avoid spaces in model names or you need to enclose with quote marks "Sheet A3" 
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 Tip I use the first two lines and file design in a batch script at end of projects to force the sheet model to be the default when opening a dgn in my projects 
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 BTW don't you have to specify which cell otherwise all cells are updated?
