=========
TASK [prompt] [$valid-responses]
This little program will display a prompt and wait
for a single key entry from the keyboard. It then sets the
DOS errorlevel to the ascii value of the key and returns to
DOS. Both [prompt] and [$valid-responses] are optional. If
a prompt is not supplied, TASK simply waits for a key to be
pressed and returns the ASCII code. The valid responses
must begin with a "$". If a string of valid responses is
not supplied, TASK will accept any key pressed and return
the code. Both the valid responses and any input from the
keyboard is converted to upper case. Beware of
valid-response characters that will be interpreted by DOS as
re-direction of standard input or standard output.
