问题 What does /p stand for in set /p= ? I know that / enables a switch, and I'm fairly sure that I know /a is for arithmetic . I've heard numerous rumours, some saying /p is for prompt , others stating it stands for print . The only reason I slightly doubt it is prompt is because in many cases it does not ask for a prompt, yet prints on the screen, such as <nul set /p=This will not generate a new line But what I want to know is: Do we really know what it stands for? Bonus points for anyone who
