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?

Thanks, that works.
I wish to set some ps-print variables in an interactive way, i.e. be prompted
for the value that I want to set. So, following Barry's hint, I put:
(defun my-manage-ps-font-size ()
(interactive)
(let* ((prompt1 (read-from-minibuffer "Font size? "))
(prompt2 (format "(quote (7 . %s))" prompt1))
)
(setq ps-font-size prompt2)
)
)
, but it seems that the variable's value is put between "" and so it is not
accepted. I need help in this point. Thanks to anyone still helping.
