for (( i = 100, max = 110; i <= max; i++ )) ; do
        printf " %d\n" $i
        if [ $i -eq $max ] ; then
                if askYesOrNo "Do you wish to continue?" ; then
                        (( max += 10 ))
                fi
        fi
 done


Yes, read -n 1 - I did that and it works but I wanted to have it my way. Smilie

And my final version finally does what I want. Smilie
