[QGIS-ZA-user] Creating batch jobs from using Grass inside QGIS 3.4

Hi Listers,
I'm using Grass 7.6 inside QGIS 3.4 (installed via OSGEO4W64)

I'm needing to set up a chain of tasks involving rasterizing polygons, 
thinning them and putting them back into vector formats.
There are many steps involved, and I am experimenting with a large 
number of parameters available in each step - so doing this through the 
GUI is tedious.

Is there a way to capture the grass commands and parameters I have 
chosen in the GUI?
I have traced much of them into users/appdata/local/blah blah, but then 
they reference other files wherein my GUI params are listed, and piecing 
this lot together, as my first attempt at using Grass, is not massively 
intuitive (no, I have not RTFM'd  :-)  )

If I can create a batch file chaining all the steps together, I could 
then run and tweak that in powershell (or even cmd.exe)  - and test 
different options more quickly.

Thanks for any pointers that might be offered.
Regards,
Zoltan
PS: Yes, I could go through the Grass manuals and see all the params, 
but hacking is so much easier :-)
