   I have a batch file containing this line :-   
          CScript //nologo THING.JS   
      
   That  *.JS file finishes with :-   
           WScript.echo(S)   
      
   so that I can read the answer S in a small window.   
      
   How, most straightforwardly, can I get the value of S (an alphanumeric string   
   of 10 characters) back to the batch file, for example as a local environment   
   variable accessible as %FRED% ??   
      
   I have thought of using something like (untested)   
            CScript.echo("set FRED=" + S),   
   redirecting that output to a file ALEC.BAT, and executing that; but there   
   should be a better way.   
      
   Speed is of no importance; it will typically be executed once a day at login   
   time.  I do NOT want to rewrite THING.JS in pure Batch code.
