I wish to define a function that prompts me more than
once: let's call it `my-function': when I type `M-x
my-function', in the echo area I see (just an example):
Hi, how are you today?
. Then I type, e.g., `fine RET', and again it prompts me with:
I see. And, what did you do yesterday?
... and so on. Then I'm going to put some `if... else'
conditions over my possible answers. Can anybody please
provide some hints about how to elisp this?
'read-from-minibuffer might be what you want.
(format "Your name is: %s"
(read-from-minibuffer "Who are you? "))
