Help with Promting users to move the script along:
Hi guys,

Simple question really (only when you know how!)

I would like to clear the screen between two parts of script.

However I would like the user to be prompted if he/she has completed reading the output from the first part of the script before moving on.

i.e =
Code:
grep "$###" #####

##Tidy Interface This is where I need help!
clear

while [[ $### != ###,###,### ]]

Kind regards

Simon
