Another crude way of input handling is the SKIP command:
[from my `Startup-Sequence')
echo "Environment: CLI, WB or shell?"
skip ?
lab CLI
Date ?
execute Make_RAM
quit
lab WB
loadwb
endcli >NIL:
quit
lab shell
c:/moreC/shell s:login.sh
quit

SKIP ? will cause a prompt "LABEL: " and jump.
Problem: If the usere enters something else.
