MsDos v6.0 and later have 'CHOICE.COM'. Typing "HELP CHOICE" at the Dos prompt
should explain it. It's usually found in C:/DOS or C:/Windows/Command.

Before MsDos v6.0 there were several commercial/shareware/freeware utils that
did the same thing. I recall these utils working with MsDos v2.11, so they
seem to go way back.
