-(defun read-multiple-choice (prompt choices)
- "Ask user a multiple choice question.
-PROMPT should be a string that will be displayed as the prompt.
-
-CHOICES is an alist where the first element in each entry is a
-character to be entered, the second element is a short name for
-the entry to be displayed while prompting (if there's room, it
-might be shortened), and the third, optional entry is a longer
-explanation that will be displayed in a help buffer if the user
-requests more help.
-
-This function translates user input into responses by consulting
-the bindings in `query-replace-map'; see the documentation of
-that variable for more information. In this case, the useful
-bindings are `recenter', `scroll-up', and `scroll-down'. If the
-user enters `recenter', `scroll-up', or `scroll-down' responses,
-perform the requested window recentering or scrolling and ask
-again.
-
-When `use-dialog-box' is t (the default), this function can pop
-up a dialog window to collect the user input. That functionality
-requires `display-popup-menus-p' to return t. Otherwise, a text
-dialog will be used.
-
-The return value is the matching entry from the CHOICES list.
-
-Usage example:
-
-\(read-multiple-choice \"Continue connecting?\"
- \\='((?a \"always\")
- (?s \"session only\")
- (?n \"no\")))"
