This is not perfect because every query would be answered
the same way.  From a non-terminal, you many want to answer
'y' to one query and 'n' to another.


Furthermore, sometimes the query is not directly triggered
by the command used.  For example, changing a variable value
will trigger a query from PRecord, but it is not really
the 'set' command that sends the query, it is PRecord.

I believe the cleanest solution up to now was to have
individual setting for each query.  I didn't like that too much
myself, but I don't have a better suggestion.
