Prompt Input message, [detail], [button], [defaultText]
Displays a message to the user and allows them to type in some free-form text. This

Prompt Options message, [detail], [button], [option1] … [optionN]
Displays a message and has the user choose one from a list of options. The return value is

$color = Prompt Options 'Favorite color?', '', 'OK', 'Red', 'Green',
'Blue'
If the user chooses Red, the text Red is returned and stored in the variable $color.
