Its fine to do this...
 
 read -p "Please provide domain name, without www prefix, e.g. 
 google.com: " domainname ;
 
 But how do I do this?
 
 $defaultvalue=google.com
 read -p "Please provide domain name, without www prefix, e.g. 
 google.com: " $defaultvalue domainname ;
 
 
 (In which I want the user to be able to be able to EDIT the default 
 value, as most times the default is correct, or needing a minor change, 
 e.g. ".com" might change to "co.nz" )
 
 Siggy
