I think your extra quotes in the answer line are the problem here, David.
Try this:
then answer "Your name can't contain the words " & quote & "My Name" & quote
& " in any form" with "OK"

This will surrounf My Name with quotes but not make the program think you
have finished the answer prompt.

Cheers,
Sarah
