Batch: How can I request a User to input their name, then echo it?

Question

I am making a BATCH interface on notepad, and I want the user to input their name, before going to ECHO their name to the very next line. This is what I've done so far:

@ECHO OFF
ECHO ################################################
ECHO ## WELCOME TO THE BATCH INTERFACE, VERSION 1. ##
ECHO ################################################
ECHO ## PLEASE INPUT YOUR NAME TO CONTINUE:        ##
ECHO ################################################
PAUSE

Any luck?
