I am working for Oakland University as a student programmer for Academic 
Computing Services.  My first project is to write a menu program for our
PC's so the user doesn't have to learn DOS.  Due to constraints, I cannot
have my program write to any disk, so I need to somehow put my menu program
in the middle of a .bat file. Can I -
	1) Set an environment variable for the next part of the .bat file or
	2) Return an error level that can be tested?
From the manual, I can see no way of doing either of these.  I would much 
prefer doing this in Modula-2 because of the windowing procedures available
with this version. I also happen to enjoy programming in M2. 
Anyway, thanks for any help.
