How to use the echo command after a set /p command

Question

I wanted to make this script work somehow, but i find that after you use

set /p variable= whater you want here

If you use the echo command after it, its hidden or something because it wont come up...

@echo off 
cls 
color A 
:MAIN 
cls 
echo. 
echo. 
echo ================================= 
echo. set /p var= what is your name? 
:: DOES NOT SHOW UP (STARTING HERE) 
echo. 
echo ================================= 
:: DOES NOT SHOW UP (ENDING HERE) 
set /p answer= so your name is %var%? 
IF %answer%== yes echo thats an amazing name! 
IF %answer%== no goto MAIN 

The part thats surrounded by the remarks doesnt want to show up for some reason... any ideas?

If I'm understanding what you are trying to do, this is the code you need:

@echo off  
cls  
color A  
:MAIN  
cls  
echo =================================  
echo what is your name?  
echo =================================  
set /p var=
set /p answer= so your name is %var%?  
IF [%answer%] == [yes] echo thats an amazing name!  
IF [%answer%] == [no] goto MAIN  
pause
