alternate outcomes from a response

[David McFarlane]

What do you know, reading "VB and VBA in a Nutshell" over lunch at 
the coffee shop a moment ago (I really am that much a geek) I was 
reminded about the Like operator, which you may also find documented 
in the online E-Basic Help.  So that could offer yet another way to 
score multiple correct response targets, and I will have to add that 
to my demo program.
