Re: [Tutor] Re Help with this script

[John Carmona]

Thanks for the help Kent, Noel and Alan. Here is my final script (it seems 
to be working ok but sometimes if I select "quit the programme", I need to 
enter that option 2 or 3 times before it works, is this a bug (I am running 
Win XP), please feel free to comment if you thing that something could be 
improved. Time to do the next exercise.
