   OK - thanks for this response.  I think I should be able to find it from   
   one or some of those sources.  I think I have a Win98 VM laying around   
   somewhere; it might be in there.

   P.S.  The idea of using "set /p" doesn't appeal.  The whole point is to   
   avoid the "having to press enter" issue.
