Program loops where it shouldnt

Question

I want the interface to go back to 'Enter a command' menu after it has completed a command (unless the user inputs "exit")but it keeps repeating the same interface for that command over and over again. e.g when the user inputs "register" the system should ask for name then phone number then email address and then says the staff member has been created (given the user input the correct type of input). The system should then ask for another command but instead it will ask for name, phone number and email address and will register another staff member. Please help?

Can you please change while(usercomman==register) to an if statement and give it a shot?
