To Loop

GoodWilling (14)
So my assignment is to make this program run as many times as the user wants, then create a file with multiple outputs.

With my research I was able to deduce that I need to use the do loop. Even then from my online research I'm not really getting anything clear. I tried adding do while but it only seemed to skip questions and not even give me an output. I know where is x>=1 stuff but I can't see how I could implement that into my coding. There must be a simpler way of doing that I just haven't seen.

Long story short, user enters input, gives output, console asks if user wants to enter another set of input, gives output, send all outputs to one file.

EDIT: I was basing my opinion on do loop off this youtube video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVVXLvMs_-w
It seemed closest to what I'm trying to accomplish but I'm not getting the same results.

Can I make multiple outputs appear at once or does the previous output need to be cleared? Also how do I send multiple outputs to a file?
