Version 2.1
USAGE:
STEP FileName (enter just the batch file name, no Extension)
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The new COMMAND.COM "/Y" switch in DOS Version 6.2 allows you to
step a batch file.
Each line is printed to the screen and ends in "Y/N[ ]?"
If you press "Y" the batch file steps to the next command, if you
press "N" it -skips- that command.
You wonder why I needed to made a batch file for one switch? As
"anyone" can type:
COMMAND /C /Y MYBATCH.BAT
and do this.
Oh Yeh? Well... try that -exact- command and see how many different
errors you can get before you get the correct syntax; it's not
crystal clear from reading the help file. See text below from on
line DOS 6.2 Help...

COMMAND.COM
Starts a new copy of the MS-DOS Command Interpreter.
COMMAND [[drive:]path] [device] [/E:nnnnn] [/P [/MSG]]
[/Y [/C command | /K command]]
[drive:]path Specifies the directory containing COMMAND.COM file.
device Specifies the device to use for command input and output.
/E:nnnnn Sets the initial environment size to nnnnn bytes.
/P Makes the new Command Interpreter permanent (can't exit).
/MSG Stores all error messages in memory (requires /P).
/Y Steps through the batch program specified by /C or /K.
/C command Executes the specified command and returns.
/K command Executes the specified command and continues running.
The /P and /MSG switches may be used only when COMMAND is started
by using the SHELL command in the CONFIG.SYS file.
