Hey, why did you first use y=29, then y=37, then y=21 ? On the screen , it will
look like :

Quit
Set password
Install

Was it what you intended to do ? Anyway, you should rather put that code in a
more rational way : first y=21, then y=29, then y=37. It doesn't affect the
program's run, but it's more complex to understand.
