ate your quick and helpful responses. So do you think prompting for a strin=
g and then checking if the string is true is a good practice for something =
like this? When would checking for true/false be necessary?

Prompting for a string is fairly standard. Just figure out what sort
of string you want to look for.

Play around with other programs with similar interfaces, and decide
what you like. Anything you want to do can be done; most of them won't
even be difficult.
