See below, i am sure it should read "NO" instead of "YES"

I think Alex meant this one:

> on menuPick pWhich
>     switch pWhich
>         case "Exit"
             answer "Are you sure you want to exit?" with "NO" or "OK"
## OK and YES are synonyms and that would not make sense here :-)

>             break
>         case "Quit"
>            answer ....
>            if it is "OK" then ...
>            break
>     end switch
> end menuPick
