:BROWSE
set /P lettervar="Enter the First Letter of Movie "
for %lettervar% in (A:\Movie_List\List.txt) do findstr /b /i /c:"%lettervar%" >> 

moviesfound.txt
if not errorlevel=1  (type moviesfound.txt)  
else echo Sorry, No Movies Start with %lettervar% in the List
del moviesfound.txt
goto :begin

Am I getting closer? Can you see What I am trying to achieve here? I want the users input to be stored in this variable and then have the variable searched for in the List.txt. When I ran the program I was able to enter a letter, but then my file closes it self.
