title: Batch file: How to ask for input without pausing the file at all
body: <p>In a batch file I am making, I need to ask for user input without having it stop. I know about <code>set /p</code> and <code>choice /c</code>, but these options pause the batch file and disallow simultaneous processing.</p>
  
  <p><code>&lt;nul set /p</code> doesn't work either, as it is almost instantaneous and barely allows key presses. I also don't want to have to press the <code>ENTER</code> key.</p>
  
  <p>Please help me.</p>
