First, you should add "put answer" in the code, which will put answer in
the message window, and you can see how it's different.
my guess is that the return is being added to the field, and so "C
<return>" is not the same as "C". If this is so, just delete the last
character of answer:
delete the last char of answer
before you check it.
that ought to do it....
