MS-Dos doesn't have an input command.

There is a dos method to get a y/n input, and Qbasic was often used to get input.

Another method was to use choice, to get one letter at a time and parse that.


If you describe the actual task then maybe we can help you.

thanks for your answer,i mean is,under the dos environment,i wanna have a script
that receive the key which i input,then decide if the key is gtr 123 or not.
show "=" means equal,">" means greater and so on.the script i paste is ok in the CMD,
just what my purpose.

What version of MS-dos is this? Or what version of Windows?
