There is an XFCN called Inkey which will do just that.  It is available just
about anywhere (I don't remember where I got it) but if you can't find it, send
me a note and I'll mail you a copy.  A sample use would look like this

	on idle
		get Inkey()
		if it is "yes" then scream, yell, and jump up and down
		else doMenu "Quit Hypercard"
	end idle

goodLuck!
