I'm sharing this for Jerome. Jerome Shidel has been working on a set of power utilities for DOS batch files. Called the V8Power Tools for DOS, they provide "Visual" equivalents to many command line tools, such as VCLS, VCHOICE, VECHO .. as well as new power tools such as VPROGRES (display a progress bar) and VFRAME (for text-mode boxes).
You can use these to make your batch files more interactive. I would also like to see them used to simplify the install program into a smart batch file (I proposed this idea a few months ago, on my blog as "A few thoughts on simplifying the install process" - http://www.freedos.org/jhall/). V8Power Tools for DOS are GNU GPL v2 Screenshots and download at the V8Power Tools for DOS website http://up.lod.bz/V8Power Source code is on GitHub http://github.com/LoopZ/V8Power
