Hmm, I think I wasn't clear in what I'm trying to achieve. My problem is not related to stopping the script, but in getting the script to repeat.
There are 4 questions that the script prompts the user to enter as variables, and what I want to script to do is essentially start over once it's finished. So that after one tape ends, the script is already waiting for the information (a new instance of each of the variables) for the next tape to be entered...
As it stands I achieve this by simply typing in the command to run the script again after each tape finishes, but I want to eliminate this extra step.
Thanks for your help
