Confirm Long File Name Bug in Player Object

[Thomas McGrath III]

Sivakatirswami,

I would leave the No and Yes buttons and just change the text:

answer "Are you finished with the last one? This will clear the header 
info." with "No" or "Yes"

or maybe clarify what the last one is:

answer "If you are finished, do you want to clear the header 
information?" with "No" or "Yes"
