Don't forget that you can also add function key exits that will produce
ErrorLevel values that match the key use.  That way you can automatically
hit a function key and using the discrete ErrorLevel value that produces. 
You can put an exit name location into the batch file that will do what you
want.

        if errorlevel 100 goto LOCAL    ' F10 pops up MAX here
        if errorlevel  90 goto Echomail ' F9  pops up Echomal scan
        if errorlevel  80 goto Daywork  ' F8  pops up a forced daily run
        if errorlevel  70 goto Fmain    ' F7  Personal operation
        if errorlevel  60 goto Asksam   ' F6  Asksam total database
        if errorlevel  10 goto Funclist

And so on.  In DOS I still have the really top operation AskSam complete
relational database that has been scanning EVERY local echo for about 15
years now that can fine EVERY use of the four letter word XXXX in every
echomail area locally!  Yes, true!  Ain't so big a file in that if you
realize what a fully relational database is, there is only one word XXXX in
the database!  Every related record to that XXXX is a huge integer pointer
for everything else from there.   Chortle.

Anyway, you get the idea what else you can do from just a function key exit
program selection here.

As the bunny said, "Hoppy New Year!"
