I also noticed that problem with the Ask command (clicking "Okay" with a
blank line looks just like clicking "Cancel").  My answer to this was to:

ask "Whatever" with " " --I forget whether there is a variable called space

The major problem with this approach is aesthetic.  The whole blank line is 
selected.  Otherwise, it seems to work.  (i.e. if the user just clicks okay,
then it contains a space instead of being empty).
