something like this will get you started.
as an added feature it stops the annoying rapid fire
when using a simple command like

if inkey$()="n" then gosub wrong

the problem with your code is that it passes the inkey opportunity in a fraction of a second. It goes if"n"if"y" then waits for you to press a key. You have to put it in a loop.

Or...

Input "Press y or n",a$
if lowercase(a$)="y" then print "yes"
if lowercase(a$)="n" then print "no"

If we could strike, I guarantee you there would be martial law.
