    Summary: Display "YES" or "NO" and wait until one is chosen
    Context: See this subroutine in context in the source code
 References: This subroutine is called as follows:
             * TBRIEF calls YESNO


 This routine does a similar job to the routine of the same name in the BBC
 Master version of Elite, but the code is significantly different.


 Returns:

   A                    The result:

                          * 1 if "YES" was chosen

                          * 2 if "NO" was chosen
