Hey guys n gals,
New to python, having some problems with while loops, I would like to
make a program quick once q or Q is typed, but thus far I can only get
the first variable to be recognized.

Peter has given a comprehensive reply.
There are two other options he didn't mention.
1) Use 'and' instead of 'or':
while message != 'q' and message != 'Q':
2) Better (IMHO) is to convert message to lower case (or upper if
you prefer) and only do one comparison:
while message.lower() != 'q':
HTH,
