I just remembered something else. You want the user to enter a string,
so
you might want to use the InputStr command instead. Otherwise, the user
has
to use quotation marks at the prompt on every command they enter.

InputStr "c:\",com

When you run the program the user simply types the command like a real
DOS
prompt, and what the user types gets stored to the com var when the user
presses [Enter].
