Hello,
I have a batch file that FTPs data from our servers. I use a menu to have the user decide which server to log into and FTP data from. How can I code it so that at any stage in the prompts, the user can decide to go back to the main menu? This would be useful when they have already chosen a server but then realized that it is the wrong one and they need to choose a different server. Right now they are made to follow the prompts and enter bogus info just to get to the end of the script and have the ability to choose from the menu again. Is there any type of escape command that can be invoked at any time, where I can predetermine where to go when the Escape key is pressed...or something similar to that? Below is sample code of a section where currently the user has to answer the prompts before he can go back to the main menu. Thanks in advance.
