I would like to alter my AUTOEXEC.BAT file (or another BAT file)
to accept interactive input.  I want it to ask me a question
(such as who I am), and based on the answer, perform a system setup.
Alas, I cannot find anything in my eMeSS-DOS (3.3) manual or elsewhere
that tells me how to do this.  Is it possible?  If so, how, and which
book(s) describe it?

Many thanks.
