It isn't unusual for a multi-lingual system where the Y/N flags would be stored as boolean values and the text corresponding to the letters Y/N would be stored in a file somewhere. Many languages have 'N' for no but have a different letter for Yes. (Si, Oui, Ja for example).

The code is confusing enough to make me just want to say, if they entered a Y exit, if they entered a N continue or whatever.
