dude
may be you can Turn off your CAPS
a batch file, input has to be provide at command line, and saved as an environment variable,Unless there are new batch file rules

On occasions we need some user interaction in batch files.
be aware of which directory a file is to be copied, for instance

the PAUSE command, which stops the batch file until the user hits other than Ctrl, Alt, Shift, CapsLock, NumLock or ScrollLock works with
DOS, Windows and OS/2 versions is the basic user interaction,this will definitely helps you to make the batch files according to your wish

hey i got the it from using the method below
set INPUT=
set /P INPUT=Type input: %=%
echo Your input was: %INPUT%
the first commands in order to reset its value, so that if nothing is entered the variable will have no value at all, instead of some senseless value.
set INPUT=
set /P INPUT=Type input: %=%
if "%INPUT%"=="" goto input
echo Your input was: %INPUT%
So, after getting user's input and saving it in a variable,initially i had some situation but eventually i sort it out.think this may help you.

hi i am trying to run duke nukem in a lan enviroment.

i am using eduke32.exe. eduke requires a ip to connect to. the command so far is: eduke32.exe -net -n0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
i need this to be automated to some degree. the only inupt from the client should be the computer # doing the hosting and the ip.

so, if a batch file comes up askiing for compter # to connect to the client would select #12. a request from the batch file asks or displays the ip for #12. the batch file or the client types in the ip and then the batch file runs eduke32.exe -net -n0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

this maybe to much to ask for but any inout would help. thanks in advance.
