I would like to have a program that is executed from a DOS BAT file be able
to set or modify the BAT file parameter values. In this manner, the program
could prompt for some data and subsequent commands executed in the BAT file
would be able to use the user's repspone (e.g., a path name). My question:
can this be done, and if so, how?

INPUT.C puts the user's response into an environment variable which can be used by the .bat file. Al Stangenberger Forestry U.C. Berkeley
