Combining specific text files based on a list

Hello,

I want a .bat file that will copy all the lines from specific text files which I will list in a separate FILELIST.txt file.
Everything will be in one directory..

For example
aa.txt
bb.txt
cc.txt
FILELIST.txt
MERGEFILE.bat

If I want to merge aa.txt and bb.txt together
All FILELIST.txt will have is:
aa.txt
bb.txt

Thanks in advance!

Configuration: Windows XP
Firefox 3.5.3
