Not quite - like using the command 'read' from a shell script.  As in:
echo "what is your oracle server's FQDN"
read oraclehost

then later in the script:
sed s/placeholder1/$oraclehost/ template > step1

Of course there are many other questions, and it's a breeze in any
*real* shell. 

I found a distributable zsh binary that allows all sorts unixy commmands
under Win32, and I solved all my problems.  Amazing, I need to use a
Unix shell to install software on Windows.  Eitehr that or learn how to
create pointy-clicky install programs - which I just am not going to do
now (dev cycle too long)...

Fucking Windows...
