Using filepro - sco unix. Is there a unix command that would

Is there a way to make the script so that only the entry of a

(Like having the user enter 'dostep1' to make it do the first step -
any other word or enter would just make it stay at that step.)</pre>

Or create a counter file that keeps track of how many times the batch
is run, and<br>
toss up an error message if the batch has already been run.<br>
