Hello all,

I am writing a Korn shell script that if for tracking offsite tapes. the
script is real simple, I type in the Barcode of the tape and hit enter, then
i type in the barcode for the offsite tape vendor and hit enter and it add
the line in my db file. The problem is that I only know how to do this once
then it asks me if i want to enter another tape and i have to hit enter.
What I want to accomplish is that I say add tapes to the database and scan
away on my 10 tapes then hit enter to add all the entries into the file. Any
pointers a where to start would help...

Thank you..

Alan
