Restricted privileges command line

So, as usual, I'm finding ways to piss of my school's administrative staff. I found that even though they've blocked command line usage, it's possible to get said usage back by using batch files.

main code:

Code:
@echo off&setlocal

:: set path to user defined path
set cfgpath=C:\Users\Kagetane\Desktop\Code\~projects\cmd\config

:setup
:: collects userpath and sets to temporary variable
set /p usrp=<%cfgpath%\path.txt

:: loop to get user variables
set /p t=<%cfgpath%\vars.txt
:defloop
for /f "tokens=1* delims=;" %%a in ("%t%") do (
	if defined ttl (
		if defined host (
			if defined root (
				set user=%%a
			) else set root=%%a
		) else set host=%%a
	) else set ttl=%%a
	set t=%%b
)
if defined t goto defloop

path=%path%;%usrp% :: adds user's path to session path
cd %root%          :: goes to defined root directory

:: main program loop
:loop
title %ttl% - %cd%
echo %cd% %user%@%host%~
set /p cmd=$ 
%cmd%
goto loop

For defining your userpath, just delimit entries with a semicolon in a path.txt file in your config directory, leaving the last entry without a semicolon at the end

For example:

Code:
H:\Programming\Source\Ruby22;H:\Programming\Source\Git;H:\Programming\Source\nodejs;H:\Programming\Source\Python;H:\Programming\Source\Python\Scripts

Finally, for user variables, do the same as you did with the path in a file called vars.txt, but in the following format:

Code:
title;hostname;root directory;user

Example:

Code:
:: this config
command "console";no-access-to-anything;H:/Programming/Files;inori

:: produces this
H:/Programming/Files inori@no-access-to-anythings~
$

Note: this is still pretty buggy, and I hate messing with batch, since error tracebacks are non-existent, so if anyone finds bug fixes, lmk
