I have a very simple problem for anyone who happens to program.  I have MS-DOS
5.0 and I want to write a simple menu program to run all of my applications
from.  I.e., I want to put the file into my AUTOEXEC.BAT.  However, I can't
seem to figure out how to run a batch file with a prompth in it so that you can
type a character (1 - n . . .) and have a specific application run.

I don't want the program to simply generate a menu and then have each
application run by starting a file called, for example, 1.bat, etc.

Can anyone provide me with the information required to do this?  Thank you.
