It appears to me that with the Ask command there is no way to
distinguish between the user clicking "Cancel" and clicking "OK" with
an empty edit window.  Thus, if empty is a legitimate answer to the
question, one can't use Ask.  Is this really the case, or am I missing
something (like a more recent version of Hypercard)?
