I know how to make a batch prompt.

it's this:
set input=
set /p input=
if %input%==blank goto blank
if %input%==example goto example

This just makes the batch wait forever for a answer.

How do you make it wait for a certain amount of time?

Use CHOICE


=====================================
If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.
