You could supply choice.exe alongside your batch - it works with the later OS's, but it's an extra 48k for one function.
SET /P variable=[promptString] appears to be the official XP method but I'm confident you'll find it doesn't work with the older OS's. Relative paths should do what you want but you'll need to set the drive where the batch resides to be the active one at the outset. Getting the current drive and path using batch-files is quite fiddly and, again, probably varies with DOS version. -- Regards, Stephen _______________________________________________ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
