yeah its not the

fi on line 62, I was just reviewing my code, and it was one of those things that I just kept looking over and I noticed. I got on here to post this as resolved. The
fi was a mistake due to the copy and pasting from the other scenario of the game. I know copy/paste causes a lot of errors and I browsed it for misplaced quotation marks and various other errors, but I forgot that the whole statement that I copied was part of an if statement from the other scenario. That
fi on line 62 should not have been there, there only should have been the one on line 60 but thank you so much for your prompt response to this. I've just began learning scripting and bash as a whole about 4 days ago, so I'm sure this is going to be a go-to source for help in this text based game. I'm just trying to find a way to spice it up and once I do I'm sure I'll have way more complicate code than [ICODE]case[/ICODE[,
while/do and nested
if statements!!

NAME
create-branching-keyboard - create branching keyboards for GOK
SYNOPSIS
create-branching-keyboard [--usage] infile [n-desired-rows]
DESCRIPTION
create-branching-keyboard takes an input data file and creates a family of branching keyboard XML files in the format that GOK expects.
Given an input file named test.data, create-branching-keyboard creates test.data.kbd, which in turn refers to a family of *.kbd files that
are created based on data in the input file.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
--usage Display usage information.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
infile The name of the input file.
n-desired-rows If specified, create-branching-keyboard attempts to create keyboards with the specified number of rows. The recommended
values are between 2 and 6.
EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
create-branching-keyboard can be used to create families of branching keyboards from UTF-8 input files. The format of the input files is as
follows:
o Lines beginning with '#' are ignored.
o The rest of the input file consists of consecutive pairs of lines. The first line of a pair is typically ignored, but should serve as
a UTF-8 label describing the "primary key" in the next line. The second line of the pair consists of a single UTF-8 character followed
by a ':' color delimiter, and a string of UTF-8 characters to which the initial character may branch.
The resulting XML file, after processing, defines .kbd files such that each prefix 'primary key' forms a key on the GOK keyboard whose
label is the "primary key" UTF-8 character, and which branches to a keyboard consisting of the following UTF-8 characters, one per key.
create-branching-keyboard is particularly useful in creating branching keyboards for ideographic languages. For instance, the primary key
for a given line may consist of the UTF-8 character for a 'radical' such as hng.
