Hi,

Is there a way to change the value of answer without ask? I was intending to have students write code similar to

but then realized that when successive enter students messages are received answer will stay set to Done. I suppose students could create their own variable to store the answer and then reset it at the bottom of the script but I thought I would find out if there is a way to change the value of answer that I have over looked.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Susan

Make a variable called answer2

change the repeat until to repeat until answer2 = Done

in place of the red "add answer to students" make the following changes..

set answer2 to answer

add answer2 to students

set answer2 to ready

- If that sounded weird, you are just storing the blue answer variable into another variable which you then clear out after placing the name into your list. Hope that helps :)
