Newbie Nested Function Problem

[Brian Samek]

Oh wow!  Thanks a lot - that was exactly the issue.  I changed the variable name and the program works perfectly now.  I didn't realize that a variable name in a program would have that effect.

  Looks like you are setting the variable 'leave' to the user input, and then you are calling the function leave(), but remember that 'leave' has been set to some string.
  So say you enter 'xqz', and expect it to restart the loop when you get to the leave call --- well, what you are doing is trying to call the function xqz().
