(defun read-multiple-choice (prompt choices &optional help-string)
"Ask user to select an entry from CHOICES, promting with PROMPT.
This function allows to ask the user a multiple-choice question.
CHOICES should be a list of the form (KEY NAME [DESCRIPTION]).
KEY is a character the user should type to select the entry.
NAME is a short name for the entry to be displayed while prompting
\(if there's no room, it might be shortened).
DESCRIPTION is an optional longer description of the entry; it will
be displayed in a help buffer if the user requests more help. This
help description has a fixed format in columns. For greater
flexibility, instead of passing a DESCRIPTION, the caller can pass
the optional argument HELP-STRING. This argument is a string that
should contain a more detailed description of all of the possible
choices. `read-multiple-choice' will display that description in a
help buffer if the user requests that.
This function translates user input into responses by consulting
the bindings in `query-replace-map'; see the documentation of
that variable for more information. The relevant bindings for the
purposes of this function are `recenter', `scroll-up', `scroll-down',
and `edit'.
If the user types the `recenter', `scroll-up', or `scroll-down'
responses, the function performs the requested window recentering or
scrolling, and then asks the question again. If the user enters `edit',
the function starts a recursive edit. When the user exit the recursive
edit, the multiple-choice prompt gains focus again.
When `use-dialog-box' is t (the default), and the command using this
function was invoked via the mouse, this function pops up a GUI dialog
to collect the user input, but only if Emacs is capable of using GUI
dialogs. Otherwise, the function will always use text-mode dialogs.
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\")))"
