Question : FOREACH LOOP - DOS

The following code doesn't produce any errors, but doesn't work as I desire. What I am trying to do, is for each name in a text file, echo that name onto the screen. Here is what the text file looks like:

testname
myname
whataquestion

If I have one entry in the text file, the echo works. Any ideas?
