Subject: Re: if problem in loop causing weirdness

Break doesn't seem to be the solution.  To jump ahead to the
behaviour, when asked if I want to overwrite, if answer is no, then
everything behaves properly.  If yes, which is covered in the else
portion following 'get', it asks me 4x (there are 5 files in the
directory I'm using.  I've tried 'break' in various places (where it
might have made sense) but didn't seem to correct the behaviour.
