Here's an example program.

@echo off
title Game
echo 1) Play
echo 2) Quit
set /p mainchoice=

if %mainchoice%==1 goto :Play
if %mainchoice%==2 exit

:Play
echo 1) Buy ice cream
echo 2) Jump into the pool
set /p secondchoice=

if %secondchoice%==1 set inventory=ice cream
if %secondchoice%==1 goto :jumpinpool1
:jumpinpool1
(Case has to match. Don't forget the :, because then it won't register as a label.
This is where ASCII art comes in handy. BTW, don't put anything in parenthesis in the program.)

echo _______________
echo I                         I
echo I               o        I
echo I                         I
echo I______________ I
echo You swim.

The program is unfinished. You decide what's next. I included a few basic commands you'd need.

MS-DOS is a interface, not a language.

Micro
Soft
Disk-based
Operating
System

It seemed MS-DOS was hard the first time I used it. You just need to learn the commands, and then it is easy.
Of course, there is a link to SIMPL-DOS in my sig. SIMPL isn't MS-DOS compatible, but it is meant to be easy  . (Sorry about Advertising)

Then it has no point for me, I'm learning MS-DOS to open and run MS-DOS programs from the 80's and 90's.
