I think what I would do is put a check in for an empty
response before the case statement is ever reached.
Here's an example of what I mean:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Please answer yes or no: "
read answer
if [[ x"$answer" != x"yes" && x"$answer" != x"no" ]];
then
echo
echo "*** Invalid Response! ***"
echo
exit -1
fi
case $answer in
'yes')
echo "The answer is YES!!!!"
;;
'no')
echo "The answer is NO!!!!"
;;
esac
