$ Fire missiles? Press Enter to continue or Ctrl-C to abort. ^C
$ Are you sure you want to abort?
Press Enter to abort or Ctrl-C to abort the abort. ENTER
$ Did you mean to abort? Press Enter to continue aborting,
or Ctrl-C to abort aborting the abort and continue. ENTER
$ Confirm abort: Enter to abort, Ctrl-C to abort. ENTER
$ Abort aborted. Missiles fired.
