Thanks very much to all who helped.  With their help I'm building a
`my-ps-print-buffer' function, that I'll report so that it may be useful to
others: now I need something like this: the function says:

 Are you fine today?

.  If I say `y', it says: `Oh, good.'; otherwise it says: `Why don't you see a
doctor?'

I tried a lot but don't manage by myself.

Please help in this regard

Thanks again
Rodolfo
