That is something which immediately struck me as a possibility since I 
was considering putting some configurations into a hash anyway.

   askyn("Do you wish to proceed?", config = {}, &block)

I had thought that would be ugly, and I might be missing something 
elegant and simple. However, perhaps that *is* the simple way to go.

I'll do a check on your other options but keep them for future use.

Actually, while generating code some time back, I had accidentally 
generated some methods within my run() and not noticed. The code had 
worked fine. I've rectified that, but used that "mistake" here!
Thanks again.
