This seems to work as I would expect:

secret-word: "llama"

guess: ask "What is the secret word? "

        print "Hi Randal! How good of you to be here!"
        ][
        print join "Hello " name "."
        ]

either equal? guess secret-word [
        print "That's it!!!! You got it!!!"
        ][
        print "Sorry, that's just not right."
        ]

; End.

>> do %guessing-word.r

What is your name? Andrew
What is the secret word? bingo
Hello Andrew
Sorry, that's just not right.

>> do %guessing-word.r

What is your name? Andrew
What is the secret word? llama
Hello Andrew
That's it!!!! You got it!!!

=================================================

If you want the asking of the secret word after printing out the hello
'name, then simply place the asking after the printing like this:
