Great.  That works pretty well.  I'll have to read up in the DOS book to find
out more about errorlevels though.  I made the batch file, using three
choices and your reply.com file.  It works, except for being able to quit
without choosing a menu item.  I have to press CTRL BREAK to get out of it.
Now, I need to be able to expand it to more choices besides just the initial
3.  I appreciate your help and your reply.com file.  I'm on my way...  :)
