you could also do something like
print name$;" you must select a class"
print "press 1 to be a mage"
print "press 2 to be a elf"
print "act foolishly and you will repent"
key$=""
repeat
key$=inkey$()
until key$<>""
class$="Toad"
if key$="1" then class$="Mage"
if key$="2" then class$="Elf"
if key$="1" or key$="2"
print "you have become the mighty ";class$;" ";name$
else
print "you are a lowly ";class$:" we warned you ";name$
endif
this allows the user to select an option without having to type in the exact description, they just press key one or two to become the mage or elf (plus a nasty surprise if they fool about
)
