Actually, the first thing to do is to read the function's doc string and argument list, via `C-h f'. Some functions have an argument that controls whether or not the user is queried, but some don't and so you would need to read the source to see how the particular question is asked (via y-or-n-p, yes-or-no-p, or some other function). -- Kevin Rodgers
