  I know I havent forgoten the A1000 owners. And to prove it I asked Andy
  for permission to upload the "ASK" command to UseNet, and here it is:

  Heres a quick example of how to use "ASK"

  ask "Are you over 21"
  if warn ; The user has entered "Y"
     echo "Lets have a beer!"
  else    ; The user has entered "N"
     echo "Lets have milk and cookies."
  endif
