A long time ago I used to write small batch scripts in MS-DOS, mainly to create little menu systems to launch other programs or to automatically set the prompt to something other than the default "C:\>_". Later in life when I eventually landed a job in the technology field, I continued writing batch scripts for some reason, even when it was wildly innappropriate to do so and there were far better tools available to do the same job.
Here is a small batch script that displays a message to the user and then waits for the user to press the "any" key.
@echo off set enabledelayedexpansion set MSG=Hello World! echo %MSG% echo. echo Press the "any" key to continue... pause > nul
