   I figure that this newsgroup has more techies that c.s.a2, so I'll
post it here. Using Orca/M 2.0, I'd like my login file to be able to
read in a keypress from the user, and based on that, dump the user in
a certain directory.
   This is what I tried:

Echo "  D - Desk.Accs"
Echo "  T - Twilight"
input selection
if {selection}=="D"
  prefix desk.accs
else if {selection} == "T"
  prefix Twilight
endif

Written like this, it prints out the text, and then appears to wait for
a line of text. I can enter stuff, but when I press return, the computer
beeps at me. As this is the login file, open-apple-. won't work, and I
have to reboot. I tried making it "input {selection}", but that generated
an error on that line.

   Can someone tell me what I've done wrong, and how to fix it, or if I
should make my login file a EXE file (right now, it's the regular EXEC SRC
file) and run it that way.

   Thanks in advance.
