I was wondering, is there some sort of YES: device on the amiga that
does something that the yes command would do on unix?  Simply put,
openning a file "YES:yes" for reading would make the reader read a
bunch of "yes" or (yes:no a bunch of "no"s)  Why would I want this?
Well, sometimes, when I am unzooing or unlharcing I come up with a:
	zoo file exits Replace? (Yes/No/All/Quit)
and often I would like to say NO for ALL of the existing files (Not
one of the options in that small menu)  And having a YES: device that
does that would do the trick.  Now, if a device like that doesnt
exist, how hard would it be to write one?
