Thanks to all who responded. Much appreciated. I came up with 3 methods copy con my.bat @echo off cls copy c:\source\srsfile.txt %1 At DOS prompt type c:\mybat.bat d:\dest\destfile.txt There is a file strings25.com (DOS enhancement) That allows you to assign a variable to ask prompt line in a batch file (the user inputs the info at the on screen prompt and presses <Return>) strings Name = ask Please enter the Path Also I haven't tried it but another solution suggeted was to create a shortcut on the desktop for the batch file (eg. mybat.bat) and then on the command line enter mybat.bat ? And a prompt window will open.
