loops?

hello....very new user to unix...and i have a question..i am not sure if there is such a thing


For example...the user is asked if he likes Bananas....if he says yes....

echo You like Bananas $name
at the end of the script it echos all that the user has entered so they can read it....
but if the user if the user says no it still comes ou

you like bananas $name

is there a loop structure so that if they put no then at the end the script it will say they dont like bananas....I am not sure if you will understand this but I dont know how else to explain it...

NAME
gimptool - perform various Gimpy functions SYNOPSIS
gimptool [--prefix[=DIR]] [--exec-prefix[=DIR]] [--version] [--help] [--quiet] [--silent] [-n] [--just-print] [--dry-run] [--recon] [--bindir] [--sbindir] [--libexecdir] [--datadir] [--sysconfdir] [--sharedstatedir] [--localstatedir] [--libdir] [--infodir] [--mandir] [--includedir] [--gimpplugindir] [--gimpdatadir] [--libs] [--libs-noui] [--cflags] [--cflags-noi] [--build plug-in.c] [--build-strip plug-in.c] [--install plug-in.c] [--install-strip plug-in.c] [--install-admin plug-in.c] [--install-bin plug-in] [--install-admin-strip plug-in.c] [--install-bin-strip plug-in] [--install-admin-bin plug-in] [--install-script script.scm] [--install-admin-script script.scm] [--uninstall-bin plug-in] [--uninstall-admin-bin plug-in] [--uninstall-script script.scm] [--uninstall-admin-script script.scm] DESCRIPTION
gimptool is a tool that can, among other things, build plug-ins or scripts and install them if they are distributed in one source file. gimptool can also be used by programs that need to know what libraries and include-paths Gimp was compiled with. This is especially useful in Makefiles. On Unix, gimptool is a script. On Windows, it is a program. They should be more or less compatible. This manual page describes the Unix script version. OPTIONS
gimptool accepts the following options: --version Print the currently installed version of Gimp on the standard output. --help Print out the help blurb, showing commonly used commandline options. --quiet Run quietly without echoing any of the build commands. --silent Run silently without echoing any of the build commands. Same as --quiet. -n Test mode. Print the commands but dont actually execute them. Useful for making dry runs for testing. --just-print Test mode. Print the commands but dont actually execute them. Same as -n. --dry-run Test mode. Print the commands but dont actually execute them. Same as -n. --recon Test mode. Print the commands but dont actually execute them. Same as -n. --bindir Outputs the bindir used to install the Gimp. --sbindir Outputs the sbindir used to install the Gimp. --libexecdir Outputs the libexecdir used to install the Gimp. --datadir Outputs the datadir used to install the Gimp. --sysconfdir Outputs the sysconfdir used to install the Gimp. --sharedstatedir Outputs the sharedstatedir used to install the Gimp. --localstatedir Outputs the localstatedir used to install the Gimp. --libdir Outputs the libdir used to install the Gimp. --infodir Outputs the infodir used to install the Gimp. --mandir Outputs the mandir used to install the Gimp. --includedir Outputs the includedir used to install the Gimp. --gimpdatadir Outputs the actual directory where the Gimp data files were installed. --gimpplugindir Outputs the actual directory where the Gimp plugins were installed. --build plug-in.c Compile and link plug-in.c into a Gimp plug-in. --build-strip plug-in.c Compile,link, and strip plug-in.c into a Gimp plug-in. --install plug-in.c Compile, link, and install plug-in.c into the user's personal Gimp plug-in directory ($HOME/.gimp-1.2/plug-ins) --install-strip plug-in.c Compile, link,strip, and install plug-in.c into the user's personal Gimp plug-in directory ($HOME/.gimp-1.2/plug-ins) --install-admin plug-in.c Compile, link, and install plug-in.c into the system-wide Gimp plug-in directory (/usr/lib/gimp/1.2/plug-ins) --install-bin plug-in Install plug-in into the user's personal Gimp plug-in directory ($HOME/.gimp-1.2/plug-ins) --install-admin-bin plug-in Install plug-in into the system-wide Gimp plug-in directory (/usr/lib/gimp/1.2/plug-ins) --install-bin-strip plug-in Install stripped plug-in into the user's personal Gimp plug-in directory ($HOME/.gimp-1.2/plug-ins) --install-admin-bin-strip plug-in Install stripped plug-in into the system-wide Gimp plug-in directory (/usr/lib/gimp/1.2/plug-ins) --install-script script.scm Install script.scm into the user's personal Gimp script directory ($HOME/.gimp-1.2/scripts) --install-admin-script script.scm Install script.scm into the system-wide Gimp script directory (/usr/share/gimp/1.2/scripts) --uninstall-bin plug-in Uninstall plug-in from the user's personal Gimp plug-in directory ($HOME/.gimp-1.2/plug-ins) --uninstall-admin-bin plug-in Uninstall plug-in from the system-wide Gimp plug-in directory (/usr/lib/gimp/1.2/plug-ins) --uninstall-script script.scm Uninstall script.scm from the user's personal Gimp script directory ($HOME/.gimp-1.2/scripts) --uninstall-admin-script script.scm Uninstall script.scm from the system-wide Gimp script directory (/usr/share/gimp/1.2/scripts) --libs Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a Gimp plug-in. --libs-noui Print the linker flags that are necessary to link a Gimp plug-in, for plugins that do not require the GTK libs. --cflags Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a Gimp plug-in. --clags-noui Print the compiler flags that are necessary to compile a Gimp plug-in for plugins that do not require the GTK libs. --prefix=PREFIX If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation prefix that Gimp was built with when computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options. This option is also used for the exec prefix if --exec-prefix was not specified. This option must be specified before any --libs or --cflags options. --exec-prefix=PREFIX If specified, use PREFIX instead of the installation exec prefix that Gimp was built with when computing the output for the --cflags and --libs options.
