BJ>    COMPUTERNAME=

This much is easy to do with 4DOS, the command interpreter for DOS, because 
4DOS has a built in INPUT command:

        SET COMPUTERNAME=DefaultComputerName
        INPUT /E "What computer name would you like, Bj”rn?" %%COMPUTERNAME
        ECHO COMPUTERNAME=%COMPUTERNAME% >> UNATTEND.TXT

( The initial SET command and the /E option to INPUT are there merely to make 
things a little prettier. )

BJ> Of course it should replace an old computer name if there is one in the
file.

This is more difficult, without resorting to using a Unix style command 
interpreter, and I note that none of the other replies posted have satisfied 
this requirement, either.  (-:
