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.
The return value is the matching entry from the CHOICES list.

\(read-multiple-choice \"Continue connecting?\"
