!@^%@%*!$#!%!!!

Excuse me.  Good to get that off my chest.

Well.  Does anyone have something that will let me type 'y' or 'n' in
response to any prompt that asks for 'yes' or 'no'?  Suffice it to say that
I am not at all agreeable with having to type 'yes' and 'no' when 'y' and
'n' would do nicely.  (I have been told that UNIX & I go well together; I
tend to agree.)

I'd give my left arm for a hook/hack/etc. that would do this for me.  (Well,
maybe not the whole arm, but you get the point. ;^)

Many, many, ad infinitum thanks to anyone who can help me with this.

(You CAN tell that I just had a run in w/ a 'Please type yes or no.' reply
to my 'y' or 'n'; can't you?)
