Is there anyway to have preset data for user input in a batch file?

So basically I have a batch file that requires alot of user input. I was wondering if it was possible to have any filler data already present when the question is asked, and

I wrote an open-source Windows console program called editenv that replaces my older editv32/editv64/readline.exe utilities:

Basically, editenv lets you interactively edit the value of an environment variable. One of my common use cases is to edit the Path environment variable for the current process:

editenv Path

It also has some other handy options, such as masking the typed input[*], limiting the input length, allowing and disallowing entry of characters, etc.

The most recent binaries are available here:

[*] The input masking feature is not secure and is provided for convenience only.
