Output

[Bone]

Everything semed to be o.k. when I had simple output statemet's in the main. When I tried to incorporate the outputs into a function 'output' (requirement) I got brain freeze.It is the last thing I need besides a loop for requesting if the user wants to go again. Any help appreciated, greatly!
