set /p will not work with windows 98se. It's only supported from Windows
2000 and onwards.

Unless you set the key to encrypt to in the conf-file gpg -e will ask for
the identification of the key for each file.

My suggestion is a free piece of software:
http://www.scramdisk.clara.net/

Create a virtual drive and keep all your folders and files that contain data
for encryption on it. It couldn't be simpler, just log on and log off.
You'll never come in a situation where you've forgotten hit the button to
encrypt the files. When you log off or switches off the data securily stored
inside the virtual drive file.
