I guess so. I was really trying to avoid writing another routine that
would be just like dialog_message. I guess I was hoping for some
undocumented keywords like

result=dialog_message("Modify or delete?", /question, /cancel, $
button0='Modify', button1='Delete')
case result of
'Modify':begin
;modify something
end
'Delete':begin
;just delete it
end
'Cancel':break
endcase

I'm using the standard 'Yes/No' now to do what I want, but it would be
nice to be able to just relabel the buttons.
