I am having problems with the basic contact manager I am creating.

I am having some problems with this bit of code. The first thing I did was obviously create some arrays, these arrays will contain all the information for each contact as I am creating a basic contact manager. My main method just calls my menu method to start the sequence. In my menu, the user has a choice of what they want to do. Whichever choice they choose will be determined by the number they enter on the keyboard. This, in turn, activates another method.

I am having the following problems:

• After pressing the "1" button, which is designed to view all contacts, the computer splashes out 100 zeros or 100 repetitions of what I last entered in "2", add contacts.

• While yes, I want my menu to repeat after an action has been performed, it does it instantly. For example, once all the replays happen after I press "1", it goes back to the main menu and it's all hard to read.
