Which OS do you use? The batch doesn't work in W2k/XP (there is mo choice
command),
but as I said, with this OSs it is trivial. The posted code was tested
with
Win98 and DOS 6.

Make a new directory, for example c:\test and save the posted code as
txtmenu.bat
in this directory. Then create a few text files (text1.txt, text2.txt,
text3.txt).
CD to this directory and type "dir", you should get:


TXTMENU  BAT         3.364 02.04.08    9:04
TEXT1    TXT             3 02.04.08    9:04
TEXT2    TXT             3 02.04.08    9:05
TEXT3    TXT             3 02.04.08    9:05
        6 Datei(en)          3.373 Byte
                       401.801.216 Byte frei


Now type "txtmenu" and you should get:

C:\TEST> textmenu
[a]  TEXT1.TXT
[b]  TEXT2.TXT
[c]  TEXT3.TXT

[a-z, 0 for exit]:

If you press "b" the file TEXT2.TXT is opened with the editor.

If it doesn't work for you, please post a screen shoot of the output.
