in thread A quit key when no chomp

Ahh... that makes sense. How can the array eq one thing or another it is a list!
Still I won't know what the input is. And the input won't be chomped for output reasons.
So my first order of business is to get the array scalar(?) and find the 'q\n'?
No wonder Randal didn't write it this way in the book!

    A thing to keep in mind is what chomp really does. chomp is a safe chop. I don't want to give it away, but reconsider whether or not it matters if you chomp the input when you know what character will be removed.

    Cheers,

      I thought chomp takes "\n"

      And since I want output that resembles:
      One
      Two
      Red
      347

      I thought that leaving the input (un)chomp(ed) would be a good thing.
