RESP is a small utility to get keyboard input (as a string), and
place them into an envirnoment variable. The user, via a choice
of options, can select to display the keyboard entries, exit if
abort is detected (Escape or ^C). This utility can easily be a
low level password system. Additional uses are user selected file
names (IE.. DOC1 or DOC2), and much more. RESP continues keyboard
input untill the ENTER key is detected. If the user attempts to
place more than the max allowed charsacters into the variable,
RESP will simply beep.
Syntax : RESP var /Ll /Bn /Fn /En /Ic /D
Where : 'var' is the environment variable to place the keyboard
entries into. This variable name is mandatory.
'/Ll' sets the max characters allowed to be placed into
the variable (untill the enter key is pressed)
'/Bn' sets the screen background color to 'n' when echo
is on.
'/Fn' sets the screen foreground color to 'n' when echo
is on.
'/En' sets the echo mode, where : 0 = on, 1 = off and 2
causes RESP to echo the character '█' for each keystroke. Any
other character becomes the echo character.
'/Ic' tells RESP to exit if Escape is detected, and 'c'
is set to 'E' or ^C when 'c' = 'C'. Both may be selected by
entering this switch twice, once for each value.
'/D' uses DOS editing features, such as backspace and
arrow keys, during keyboard input. Do NOT use this switch if
using RESP as a low end password system.
Defaults: '/Ll' is 80 characters
'/En' is on (echo on)
foreground & background color is current
RESP ignores escape and ^C
RESP uses the BIOS
ERRORLEVELS: 255 (0FF) = Program Problem (call Author)
254 (0FE) = Environment too small
253 (0FD) = Invalid option
252 (0FC) = Exit with Escape
251 (0FB) = Exit with ^C
250 (0FA) = No entry (CR only)

EXAMPLES:
RESP VAR
Gets up to 80 keystrokes from the user, placeing them into VAR.
The keystrokes are echoed, editing keys are NOT permitted. Input
is terminated when ENTER is detected.
RESP VAR /L10
Same as above, but limits input to 10 characters.
RESP VAR /B1
Same as 1st example, but echos with background of blue.
RESP VAR /F4
Same as 1st example, but echos with foreground of red
RESP VAR /E2
Gets up to 80 keystrokes from the user, placeing them into VAR.
The keystrokes are echoed, with the '█' character, editing keys
are NOT permitted. Input is terminated when ENTER is detected.
This version is great to use as a password system.
RESP VAR /IE
Gets up to 80 keystrokes from the user, placeing them into VAR.
The keystrokes are echoed, editing keys are NOT permitted. Input
is terminated when ENTER or ESCAPE is detected.
RESP VAR /IC
Gets up to 80 keystrokes from the user, placeing them into VAR.
The keystrokes are echoed, editing keys are NOT permitted. Input
is terminated when ENTER or ^C is detected.
RESP VAR /D
Gets up to 80 keystrokes from the user, placeing them into VAR.
The keystrokes are echoed, editing keys are permitted. Input is
terminated when ENTER is detected.
** Switches may be combined to allow a variety of choices **
