This program is a console mode application that enables the developer to request information from the user via a batch file or .cmd script file.

Display a menu and process the user's selection
Display a message box and get the button clicked by the user
Display a prompt and process text entered by the user

All information is provided to wtreqinfo via the command line, and the script file uses the errorlevel return to determine the user's input, or, in the case of text input, the command line passed to another module.

Command line parameters are used to pass the textual contents of menu items, console screen and dialogue information. Enclose any parameters containing spaces in double quotes. When writing a .cmd script, you can prevent the line becoming too long to be practical by using the '^' character to break your code across multiple lines.

If wtreqinfo is called without command line information, it displays brief usage syntax and invites the user to refer to the documentation.

This software enables you to write a fully interactive .bat or .cmd file. For a working example, refer to the "system_shutdown.cmd" file in the Windows Text Communication or Launchpad installation folder, or as included in the S.W.H.-Wintextware Toolkit download.
