Apologies if I should be using msdos batch group. I am using Widnows
XP and had a simple batch that had 3 variables at the prompt to create
a net use connection:

net use u: /d
rem *****************************************
rem %1 is IP address of target
rem %2 is username
rem %3 is password
rem -----------------------------------------
net use u: \\%1\c$ %3 /userOMAIN\%2 /PERSISTENT:NO
pause

However I want this to be run from a file not the command line. I've
searched the group but can's see it without using 3rd party software
how I can prompt for the %1 etc. I am not exactly sure what I am
doing, but got this far:

set /p IP=Enter Target IP:
set /p User=Username:
set /p Pass=Password:
echo %IP%
echo %User%
echo %Pass%
net use u: /d
rem *****************************************
rem %1 is IP address of target
rem %2 is username
rem %3 is password
rem -----------------------------------------
net use u: \\%1\c$ %3 /userOMAIN\%2 /PERSISTENT:NO
pause

How do I set the values entered in, as the %1, %2 and %3 values please?

You're very close. Try this version:
@echo off
set /p IP=Enter Target IP:
set /p User=Username:
set /p Pass=Password:
echo %IP%
echo %User%
echo %Pass%
net use u: | find "\\" && net use u: /d
net use u: \\%IP%\c$ /userOMAIN\%User% %Password%
net use /PERSISTENT:NO
pause
