I'm frustrated...

Is it just me, or is DOS Batch worthless.?..

Is there a way to read input from a user(More than 1 char) and put
it into a var?

I have Norton Batch Enhancer, but this isn't much of an enhancement.

Is there a way to extract characters from a variable? ie array $1[5]?

Is there a package on the internet that will help with this?

Thanks in advance...
