@echo off
:begin

I have spent a number of hours trying to make it work.
You will know that it is a variation on one of your files, and that is why I cannot understand why it will not work.
Hope you can help.
Kind regards.
RonI RAN your code and it WORKS properly. Perhaps you might tell us in what way it doesn't work for you. Also mention your OS and any error messages you are getting.

8-)Thank you for your prompt reply.
The problem was, and I feel rather silly, I saved the prog as "z" and not "z.bat"
It seems to be a common problem with me, either I'm forgeting the space or dot or something so simple. :-?
Thanks again.
RonThe command CHOICE does not exist in Windows prompt window
use the command =

[highlight]@echo off
SET /P choice="PICK A NUMBER (1, 2, or 3)"
IF "%choice%"=="1" GOTO ONE
IF "%choice%"=="2" GOTO TWO
IF "%choice%"=="3" GOTO THREE
[/highlight]

Thank you again.
Ron
