     Hi Mashak,

    I'm not familiar with Concept SKILL, but in virtuoso we can use hiDisplayAppDBox() which returns a value based on the users' choice.

    	;; ask the user with a dialog box
    	setq(ask hiDisplayAppDBox(
    	  ?name 'askUser
    	  ?dboxBanner "Proceed with program?"
    	  ?dboxText   "Do you wish to proceed with the program?
    	  ?buttonLayout 'UserDefined
    	  ?buttons '(Yes No)
    	  ?defaultButton 1))
    	;; now "ask" has a value of 1 or 2 (or more depending on the button choices)
    	;; check this value to know whether to proceed or not
    

    I hope that this helps you.

    Best regards,

    Lawrence.
