Thanks. 
I know I can quietly overwrite all the files in the euphoria\backup
subdirectory, but that might upset someone who happened to have
a valuable file in there. It would be better to get the person's 
consent before proceeding to clobber all those files.
I'm not sure how to do that easily with INNO using a 
single Yes/No question. Currently I get consent one file at a time, 
which is tedious.
