Hello James,
You should put the input tasks within the target blocks that "consume"
the inputted info:
<target name="script3">
<input message="Populate people tables with test data? (run
script3)"
validargs="y,n"
defaultvalue="n"
addproperty="foo"/>
<do something arg="${foo}/>
</target>
check out the ant manual page for the input task for some examples.
