I still don't have the foggiest idea of what you want this script to do. An early attempt at the script (somewhat unintentionally) trapped the user in an infinite loop but it seems you want more. Your only attempt at a description: "I'm trying to trap a person in this loop so everything they type will not be read". Well, ok, no problem...

Please Help! :o
