Is there a way to make the script so that only the entry of a 
specific word will allow the process to go on the the next step?

(Like having the user enter 'dostep1' to make it do the first step - 
any other word or enter would just make it stay at that step.)

If it's something that only has to be run once a day, then I don't 
see why the operator should complain about such a safeguard.
