You use input(), naturally. alert() was never designed for lists of any kind, even if it's just 2 items. alert() is designed for urgent messages, and yes/no or yes/no/cancel questions.

So basicly like this:

//blah. put whatever here
   varname = input("text here") in listname


Right?

Aye, that's very important. Always leave a cancel option and always do it this way, unless there's some overriding reason why cancellation would be a bad thing.

And on the plus-plus side, having a cancel button means that input boxes with only one other option still show.
