I got this off USENET about a year ago.  I don't know who to give credit
to.

ASK is a program that displays what is on the command line and then
loops until a yes or no response is entered.  Test errorlevel to determine
the answer.  Object file is 512 bytes.  Use the .BAT file sequence

	ask THE_QUESTION
	if errorlevel 1 reply_was_no

You can use trailing blanks with THE_QUESTION to separate the question
and answer which are on the same line.  THE_QUESTION may also include
screen control sequences such as setting/restoring inverse/colors.
