Don't forget that you can also add function key exits that will produce 
ErrorLevel values that match the key use.  That way you can automatically hit a 
function key and using the discrete ErrorLevel value that produces.  You can 
put an exit name location into the batch file that will do what you want.

        if errorlevel 100 goto LOCAL    ' F10 pops up MAX here
        if errorlevel  90 goto Echomail ' F9  pops up Echomal scan
        if errorlevel  80 goto Daywork  ' F8  pops up a forced daily run
        if errorlevel  70 goto Fmain    ' F7  Personal operation
        if errorlevel  60 goto Asksam   ' F6  Asksam total database
        if errorlevel  10 goto Funclist

And so on.  In DOS I still have the really top operation AskSam complete 
relational database that has been scanning EVERY local echo for about 15 years 
now that can fine EVERY use of the four letter word XXXX in every echomail area 
locally!  Yes, true!  Ain't so big a file in that if you realize what a fully 
relational database is, there is only one word XXXX in the database!  Every 
related record to that XXXX is a huge integer pointer for everything else from 
there.   Chortle.

Anyway, you get the idea what else you can do from just a function key exit 
program selection here.

As the bunny said, "Hoppy New Year!"
