def handle(prompt, fieldName= nil)

If there's nothing to tell or ask, get out of here.

  return unless prompt

  if fieldName.nil?

No field name, so just say it.

    tell prompt if prompt
  else

If there's a field name, then we are asking for something. Ask and remember the answer

    answer = ask prompt
    answer.remember(fieldName)
  end
end

Ask the first two prompts.

handle ENV['PROMPT_1']
handle ENV['PROMPT_2']

Ask the guest for their name, if configured Don't use handle because we want to confirm their name

if ENV['NAME_PROMPT']
  name = confirmed_gets(ENV['NAME_PROMPT'])
  name.remember('name')
end

For each of the ten possible questions, ask them if they are configured and save the answer
