Dear Tiago,

using -input- in this case is inefficient. There are several other
ways to do this:
1)
capture window stopbox rusure "Do you want to pursue option A?"
if !_rc{
  // do option A
}
else {
  // do option B
}
2)
 display "Are you sure you want to pursue option A? (Y/N)" _request(answer)
 if "$answer"=="Y" {
  // do option A
}
else {
  // do option B
}

Hope this helps,
    Sergiy Radyakin
