I am trying to come up with a semi-practical way to do character creation.

I am using an array for the races and decided to use commands in a room called login for each race, however, I don't think this will work quite the way I want it to. I don't want for instance, to move onto the character gender question and have them type in a race and have their race changed during that time. Do I need to make different rooms for each command sequence, or is there a way around it? Any thoughts would be welcome.
Thanks, Shadow*
