But be aware that CHOICE can fail if multiple instances are running
on W2K.

SET /?
for other User Input command option.

Sorry JohnF. I didn't realize that. I tried it on my test 2000 server, and
I had forgotten that I installed it on there.

You can try my getkey.exe. I like it better than choice because it doesn't
beep if you press an invalid key. Also, to my knowledge, running multiple
instances in different windows works just fine.

Also included is getvar.exe, which lets you read line input into an
environment variable.

set /p Answer=Get user input.

The above works in Win2K and newer.
