title: set /p is not working as advertised
body: <p>I've got a problem with redirecting input from a file into set/p</p>
  
  <p>Here is my script:</p>
  
  <pre><code>@echo off
  echo Reading: {%1}
  type %1
  echo(
  echo Starting...
  set VAR=
  set /P VAR=&lt;%1
  echo VAR is {%VAR%}...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've read elsewhere (<a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/7827243">https://stackoverflow.com/a/7827243</a>) that the syntax I am using will work.  It does not!</p>
  
  <p>Here is my output:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Reading: {Fruit.txt}
  Pears
  Apples
  Oranges
  Kiwi
  Grapes
  Kumquat
  
  Starting...
  VAR is { ■P}...
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So - What gives?</p>
