HI all,
I am in the process of writing a batch file and need to be able to use the
CHOICE command in a batch file. The batch file is going to run on my own
computer (windows xp /w sp2 all patches) but xp does not seem to recognize
the choice command. Whats up with that? Is there an altnernative i can use
instead of choice? And why is choice listed in the a-z command reference if
it does not exist on windows xp sp2 installs?

thx
richie

"Choice" is not listed when I type Help /? at the Command
Prompt. It is, in fact, a Win9x command. Where did you see
it listed?

Under WinXP you use this syntax to obtain user input:

@echo off
set /p name=Please enter your name:
echo Hello, %name%
