The previous version of my mail reader, PMMail, included such dialogs
as "REALITY CHECK! Are you sure you want to do that?" for such major

Maximus CBCS, a popular BBS package, produces an "ERR #999: Operator
confused - Press ENTER to return to reality" if the sysop tries to
perform a remote-only function (such as "Download") from the console.
