Help: I can't get nslookup.exe to work in non-interactive mode

[Larry Dighera]

Can you get this batch file to work? Put the text below in a file
named NSLOOKUP.BAT, and run it from a command prompt.

set /p userin=Enter IP address:
nslookup %userin%
pause

For some reason it loops back to the beginning and fails to display
the output from nslookup.exe. This should be easy. I must be
overlooking something simple.

OS: MS WindowsXP Home Edition.

(Please don't tell me this is not necessary because nslookup.exe
supports interactive use. It's become more important to make it work
than to actually use it.)

set /p userin=Enter IP address:
start /wait cmd /k "nslookup %userin%"
exit
