It's the exact same code, I'm attaching the full set of files below for your reference.

Is it the same code with above or did you change something? Please let me know. Thank you.

It works very well !!

Could you please run through this

https://mili2nd.co/6unb

and let me know how it behaves for you. It should (and does, for me) run:
- intro
- two random scripts out of A to F
- a simple slider script at the end
-  the default finish page

Sorry for the typo. white black page -> white blank page.

I mean even if I change the code from script.abort(true) to script.abort(false), it still shows the white black page and stops (need to use alt+command+esc to exit).

This is "batch.iqx",

<batch 1>
/ file = "intro.iqx"
</batch>

<batch 2>
/ file = "a.iqx"
/ file = "b.iqx"
/ file = "c.iqx"
/ file = "d.iqx"
/ file = "e.iqx"
/ file = "f.iqx"
/ selectionmode = random
/ onscriptend = [parameters.scriptcount += 1;]
</batch>

<parameters>
/ scriptcount = 0
</parameters>

AND from each file from <batch2>, for example in file "a.iqx",

<expt myexpt>
/ onexptbegin = [
if(parameters.scriptcount >= 2) script.abort(false);
]
/ blocks = [1=myblock]
</expt>

<block myblock>
/ trials = [1=mytrial]
</block>

<trial mytrial>
/ stimulusframes = [1=mytext]
/ validresponse = (57)
</trial>

<text mytext>
/ items = ("This is <%script.filename%>. Press SPACE.")
</text>

<parameters>
/ scriptcount = 0
</parameters>

if I change "if(parameters.scriptcount >= 2)" to "if(parameters.scriptcount >= 6)", which means going through all the files (from a.iqx to f.iqx), it works very well and does not show white black page or stop. And from this result, I assume that there can be a problem in script.abort(). I hope my description makes sense. If you have more detail, please let me know.

Would it be possible to explain what that problem is?

What did you try and what isn't working? I'm not sure what I'm supposed to say without any details and the actual code. Why do you think there is a problem with script.abort() and what is it that you couldn't figure out?

Sorry Dave, still have a problem... 
I also think that there must be a problem in abort() command but could not figure out it. Do you have any other idea? 

I see, thank you for the clarification. #2 is the expected behavior. The whole batch script is terminated, after all. If you don't want to quit the entire set of <batch>es after two scripts in the middle one, you need to change the script.abort() logic from

script.abort(true), where "true" means terminate the entire batch script
to
script.abort(false), where "false" indicates that the batch script should keep running and only the individual script is terminated.

That might also solve problem #1, since, technically, the whole thing runs regularly through to the end then.

1. Ah, I might need to take "immediately" out. I mean after going through all the batches, web inquisit goes back to the start page instead of an ending page. Sorry for making you confused.

2. I mean further <batch> elements. So, even when I put such as "slider.iqx" after the original code, it shows the same problem without going to "slider.iqx." 

<batch 1>
/ file = "intro.iqx"
</batch>

<batch 2>
/ file = "a.iqx"
/ file = "b.iqx"
/ file = "c.iqx"
/ file = "d.iqx"
/ file = "e.iqx"
/ file = "f.iqx"
/ selectionmode = random
/ onscriptend = [parameters.scriptcount += 1;]
</batch>

<parameters>
/ scriptcount = 0
</parameters>

<batch 3>
/file = "slider.iqx"
</batch>
