Need HELP!

[Karl Bellagio]

I need help on how to read data with a loop, and in the loop have
a place, where I can get the longest piece of data(which are
names),and shortest name, and print them outside of the data
loop. Lets say there are 14 names. I am lost. What can I do?
example:
read n$
if n$=blah then ok

let A=LEN(N$)

PRINT ," "n$,,A

This is what I have so far. I just don't know what to do next.

DIM NAME$(14)
FOR COUNT% = 1 TO 14
 READ NAME$(COUNT%)
NEXT COUNT%

L% = 1
S% = 1
FOR COUNT% = 2 TO 14
 IF LEN(NAME$(COUNT%)) > LEN(NAME$(L%)) THEN L% = COUNT%
 IF LEN(NAME$(COUNT%)) < LEN(NAME$(S%)) THEN S% = COUNT%
NEXT COUNT%

PRINT "The longest  name is ";NAME$(L%)
PRINT "The shortest name is ";NAME$(S%)

DATA Chris Boss, Mike Doty, Lance Edmonds, Tom Hanlin
DATA E B Knoppert, Mike Luther, Michael Mattias, Dave Navarro
DATA Eric Pearson, Patrice Terrier, Scott Turchin, Greg Turgeon
DATA Bob Zale, Egbert Zijlema

(With these names, you're SURE to get an A)
