Change the question to a statement so that "OK" is suitable as the default response. Example: "Would you like us to charge your credit card?" (wrong) "We will now charge your credit card." (right).

(wrong) >"We will now charge your credit card." (right). The first of those is just a politer form of the second. Randy Webb had : "e.g. change "We will now buy ourselves a Porsche with your credit card, Do you want to continue with this transaction OK Cancel" to "We will now buy ourselves a Porsche with your credit card, Would you like to abandon this transaction? OK Cancel"" which is a much better example, though there is no need to provide free advertising to a motor manufacture. Does your version show careless editing or a lack of comprehension? -- (c) John Stockton, nr London UK. ?@merlyn.demon.co.uk Turnpike v6.05 MIME. Grandson-Of-RFC1036 is released.
