Sure you can use the -Y menu command to ask a Yes/No question and then use the "OK" acs to test if they answered yes or not.  Then if you wanted Mystic to pop up a box you can use the #Y MCI code.  For example:

Command: -Y
   Data: #Y#2#10#Confirm#Do you want to do this?#

Command: GO
   Data: yesmenu
 Access: OK

Command: GO
   Data: nomenu
 Access: !OK

This will cause Mystic to pop up a box, ask the question, restore the user's screen after the box was responded to, and then goto "yesmenu" if they answer yes or "nomenu" if they answer no.  No scripting or editing of ANSIs required.

.... A Skydiver is taken by the gravity of his situation.
