(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 a list of (KEY NAME [DESCRIPTION]). KEY is a
character to be entered. NAME is a short name for the entry to
be displayed while prompting (if there's room, it might be
shortened). DESCRIPTION is an optional 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\")))"
