Well, I did find choice.com in the MSDOS7 folder, so I played with it for
a while, entering the full path to choice. And it works.
@ECHO OFF
rem --- CHOICE.BAT
rem 3-20-2012
:LOOP
ECHO DO YOU WANNA DANCE?
c:\msdos7\choice.com /C:yn /Tn,05 My, my you're cute
@echo off
if errorlevel 2 goto LOOP
Echo Whisper in my ear, Darling.
echo-off
echo Thank you for the dance
goto END
:END
exit

Other than it has the quoting problem discussed elsewhere and it may or
may not run in a Windows Tray rather than the Desktop, I might be able to
overlook that quoting issue.
