Multiple correct string responses

[Rinus]

I agree with Peter.. an easy way is to first put all the allowable
responses in an array.. you might even put a list with attributes into
a (dynamic) array using a loop .... and subsequently use that
(dynamically created or not) array to check whether the given input
was correct.. I've made a prelimary setup for you.. I'll send it to
you.. (as I can not add files evidently).
