: Is it possible to create a variable name from the value of another variable, such as like a utopian example below (I don't think an EVAL function exists):
: SET variableOne=variableTwo
: SET EVAL(variableOne)=example Text
: %variableTwo%
: Thanks for any input or direction!

Yes, try this:
---[cut here]---
@echo off
echo Command: set VariableOne=VariableTwo
set VariableOne=VariableTwo
echo Results: VariableOne=%VariableOne%
echo.
echo Command: set %%VariableOne%%=Example Text
set %VariableOne%=Example Text
echo Results: VariableTwo=%VariableTwo%
---[cut here]---
