Lets see if we can pin down the interface (adding JeffJ to the CC list):

nquery("A question?")

	A question? [n]:

	- press return => implied "n"
	- batch mode => implied "n"

that would mean here:

> if (!query ("Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? ")

nquery ("Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load?");

	Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? [n]:

	- press return => old behavior
	- batch mode => old behavior
	- "y" => new behavior

Looking at the "set breakpoint pending":

yes - implies the above is "y"
no - implies that the above is "n"
auto - implies that the query occures

Jeff, work for you?
