Good morning, Herouth!
Roger that - I tried it and it broke the code. The difficulty here is
not with scanning usr input. If I hack this stanza to display stdout
via printf instead of running `exec sql' I get whatever str printf holds
echoed back to me when I reply with a `y'.
Similarly, if I enter `n' I get the `else printf' value.
Conversely, If I change the conversion specifier to a single char (%c)
I get only the `else printf' valued echoed back... :-(

I will give it a shot and get back to you. Thanks for the reply!

I'm also going to section this off as a separate function() and see how
that goes...will advise.
