     # NAME
     #    GetYesNo - ask a yes or no question
     #
     # SYNOPSIS
     #    GetYesNo "message"
     #
     # DESCRIPTION
     #    This function will prompt the user with the
     #    message and wait for the user to answer "yes" or
     #    "no".  This function will return true (0) if the
     #    user answers yes; otherwise, it will return
     #    false (1).
     #
     #    This function will accept y, yes, n, or no, and it
     #    is reasonably tolerant of upper and lower case
     #    letters; any other answer will cause the question
     #    to be repeated.
     #
     _ANSWER=            # Answer read from user
