Once we have identified the drive to copy things to, we create two directories on that drive (install and installed), we copy two different HelpingTulsa wallpapers to the install folder.

The BAT file loops displaying the types of transfers that can be requested, until the user enters X to exit from the loop. The choice program prompts for a character to be entered, and then it sets the errorlevel based on the character entered. You should see the choice program in your Dos disk, but if you can't find it, it is here
