I am creating a DOS batch file that will automatically run when a user puts a disk into the CD ROM. I will prompt the user for 1 of 3 options. This will in turn point to a specific folder on the CD ROM and run a setup within that folder. My problem is I have to support Windows 95,98,NT,2000,and ME. According to Microsoft, WIndows 2000 does not support the "Choice" command for MS-DOS, which does not allow me to pick something from the menu and assign it. Is there another command available that will assign what the user has picked to a variable or something so I can point to the appropriate folder?

Try this: === SCRIPT BEGIN === :: Thanks to Laurence Soucy :: for codescan.com ! ECHO A 100 >%temp%.\$$tmp.dat ECHO MOV AH,0>>%temp%.\$$tmp.dat ECHO INT 16>>%temp%.\$$tmp.dat ECHO MOV AL,AH>>%temp%.\$$tmp.dat ECHO MOV AH,4C>>%temp%.\$$tmp.dat ECHO INT 21>>%temp%.\$$tmp.dat ECHO. >>%temp%.\$$tmp.dat ECHO RCX>>%temp%.\$$tmp.dat ECHO A>>%temp%.\$$tmp.dat ECHO N %temp%.\codescan.com>>%temp%.\$$tmp.dat ECHO W>>%temp%.\$$tmp.dat ECHO Q>>%temp%.\$$tmp.dat DEBUG.EXE < %temp%.\$$tmp.dat > nul echo Choose [1] [2] or [3] codescan.com if errorlevel=4 goto option3 if errorlevel=3 goto option2 if errorlevel=2 goto option1 del codescan.com del %temp%.\$$tmp.dat === SCRIPT END === When codescan.com is runned, it "pauses" system, waiting for a keystroke. Each key will return a different errorlevel. Then you may use those errorlevels. The only problem is that I don't see any logic sequence in most of the errorlevels (a=30 but b=48...) However, in Win2K you may easely discover the errorlevel for each key: run codescan.com, hit a key then make "echo %errorlevel%" Did you understand everything ? -- Secret_Doom - Leonardo Pignataro -- secret_doom@hotmail.com www.batch.hpg.com.br

Errorlevels in codescan.com are based on the layout of your keyboard. Q=16 W=17 E=18 R=19 T=20 Y=21 ...etc.
