The ("<button>") argument can be used to specify the identifiers for multiple buttons,
separated by semicolons.
Two successive semicolons cause a line feed, i.e. all of the subsequently listed buttons are
displayed in a new line. Thus, buttons can also be arranged amongst one another.
The freely selectable identifiers simultaneously define the possible return values of the function.
Control characters in the argument ("<button>"):
● * Accept / input
● ^ Reject / cancel with ESC
● & Alt-Shortcut
The control characters '*' and '^' can be used to specify the default button for confirming or for
cancelling with ESC at the beginning of a identifier.
The control character '&' in the identifier for buttons defines the subsequent letters as "Alt-
shortcut" (key combination Alt+<letter>).
On package execution, each button can then also be operated via the keyboard, using the
uniquely assigned key combination. Ensure an unambiguous letter assignment across all
buttons.
The Alt-shortcuts are not case-sensitive.
