Here are the commands I enter on the Windows command line:



> set /P myvalue="Enter a value: " && echo "Here is what you entered: %myvalue%"



I was expecting that this script would assign user input to %myvalue%, and (upon successful exit from the first command) would output %myvalue% as per the echo command. The echo statement is not outputting the current value of %myvalue%.



If I run the commands separately, and consecutively, I get the expected behavior.



Why?
