Question : Re:Cygwin Shell Script

Trying to learn how to write a unix shell script. Using cygwin.  When executing the
script, I get an error that reads  

line 11 command not found

If I enter the text that makes the statement true, the script does not error, if the input is
false, I receive an error line 11 command not found.  Below is the code.
