Description

This program provides a mechanism for branching in MS-DOS batch
files. It displays a prompt and waits for user to press a key
from a list of choices. The exit code is set based on the number
of the choice entered (e.g. the first choice is exit code 1, the
second is exit code 2, and so on). The exit code can be
determined by the ERRORLEVEL batch command. Rememeber to use the
ERRORLEVEL command in reverse order so that you check for the
highest exit code first.
