Can a prompt for set /p be placed at the end of a line of text?

[The Raddish]

In XP, the choice command no longer exists.  I have set /p.

I can't add external commands to the computer, so I'm stuck with the default.

With choice, I can have the prompt displayed at the end of a line of text.

Example:

Code: [Select]

choice /c:qnp /n /m "Please choose- "
Can I get the exact same functionality using set /p in XP?

You can do this

Code: [Select]

set /p answer="Please choose- "
but you will not get the "exact same funcionality" since choice responds to a single key press but set /p responds to a string of zero or more characters plus ENTER.
