ASK2() Asks the user a multi-line question
Description:
ASK2() prompts the user with a multiple line question for a one letter
response and returns the key the user pressed. The response can be
limited to specific characters. ASK2() is non-screen destructive.
Syntax:
ASK2( <expAC>, <expN1>, <expC1>, <expC2>, <expC3> [, <expN2> [,
<expN3>] ] )
Pass:
<expAC> = Name of array containing question
<expN1> = Number of elements to display
<expC1> = Window Title (top - offset to left)
<expC2> = Window Footnote (bottom - centered)
<expC3> = List of acceptable characters (the first character is used
as the default response should the user simply press the [Return]
key).
<expN2> = Optional: Top row of window
<expN3> = Optional: Left column of window
Return:
<expC> = The key the user pressed
Notes:
Example:
ac_msg[1] = "This is line one"
ac_msg[2] = "This is line two"
ac_msg[3] = "Which do you like best"
c_memvar = ASK2(ac_msg,3,"","","123")
? "You selected line number " + c_memvar
Usage:
ASK2() is of benefit when it becomes neccessary to ask the user a
question of quite some length. i.e. "WARNING: Proceeding with this
operation will completely erase all data files. Please be sure you
have made sufficient backups. Are you sure you want to continue?"
