Thanks to everyone who responded. I've tried every solution. 
 
I will share them with my students. I sometimes use Microworlds at the end of the year. This year I have many students who used the program in elementary and/or  6th grade. Everyone is excited and keep asking "how do I" Fortunately they have solved many of their own problems and taught the teacher some things.

In MicroWorlds there is an operative called answer which goes with 
question.

I can have a procedure

to q1
question [Is the weather nice today?]
if answer = "yes [announce [Go out and play]]
if answer = "no [announce [Find something to do inside.]]
end

You can also use ifelse
If it is true the instructions in the first set of brackets run; 
otherwise the instructions in the second set of brackets run.

to q2
question [Is the weather nice today?]
ifelse answer = "yes [announce [Go out and play]] [announce [Find 
something to do inside.]]
end

Hope this helps.
