Thanks so much! Wow! I dont know how you do it but ur simply the best!
Its so easy for you.

Its working excellently. Can the user go back when he has reached the last question?
That is can he have a chance of going back to like question number 7,6,5 etc
when he has entered his answer option for the last question cos as it is now,
he is forced to finish (with only 'q' as an option) when he has reached the last question. Can he have a chance to go
back (i.e have 'q' and 'p' ) as options when he reaches the end but not going from question 8 to question 1 by pressing 'n'?

Thanks so much.

chsh

CHSH(1) 							   User Commands							   CHSH(1)

NAME

       chsh - change login shell

SYNOPSIS

       chsh [options] [LOGIN]

DESCRIPTION

       The chsh command changes the user login shell. This determines the name of the user's initial login command. A normal user may only change
       the login shell for her own account; the superuser may change the login shell for any account.

OPTIONS

       The options which apply to the chsh command are:

       -h, --help
	   Display help message and exit.

       -s, --shell SHELL
	   The name of the user's new login shell. Setting this field to blank causes the system to select the default login shell.

       If the -s option is not selected, chsh operates in an interactive fashion, prompting the user with the current login shell. Enter the new
       value to change the shell, or leave the line blank to use the current one. The current shell is displayed between a pair of [ ] marks.

NOTE

       The only restriction placed on the login shell is that the command name must be listed in /etc/shells, unless the invoker is the superuser,
       and then any value may be added. An account with a restricted login shell may not change her login shell. For this reason, placing /bin/rsh
       in /etc/shells is discouraged since accidentally changing to a restricted shell would prevent the user from ever changing her login shell
       back to its original value.

FILES

       /etc/passwd
	   User account information.

       /etc/shells
	   List of valid login shells.

       /etc/login.defs
	   Shadow password suite configuration.

SEE ALSO

       chfn(1), login.defs(5), passwd(5).
