start/wait runs a application, and waits for it to conclude, before moving

in XP you run from a shortcut. I would have to look around to find the
exact language.... it has been awhile since I used it.
Yes, I know how start /wait works. But it won't really help debugging a
batch file (except in a rather clumsy fashion.) Under Windows 9X and DOS
6, one could run a batch file by typing:
command /y /cbatchfile.bat
and the batch file would step through, one line at a time, asking for
confirmation. That's what I'd like to get in XP, and frankly, I can't
understand why MS would remove it.
