Yes, because the echo-ed command itself is also sent to temp.bat... Redirection combined with single-stepping has a bug. > A:\>A:\>getargs [Yes=ENTER, No=ESC] ?

I suggest that the "command [Yes=ENTER, No=ESC] ?" string itself should NOT be subjected to possible redirection. Will solve most of the problems that you mention to force that text to go to stderr. Possibly even ignoring CTTY, but at least ignoring redirection. This can be less trivial than it sounds, so as soon as somebody has a patch to implement it, I would like to see the patch before it gets used...
