OPTIONS Element
The OPTIONS element describes the type of input expected within a given STEP element. The OPTIONS element is typically used in HELP elements to present the user with a complete list of valid responses. The OPTIONS element can be used anywhere that text is read to the user.
The OPTIONS element can be contained by a PROMPT, EMP, PROS, HELP,
ERROR, or ACK element.
Syntax
<OPTIONS/>
Attributes
The OPTIONS element has no attributes.
Examples
1 <CLASS NAME="helpful">
2<HELP> Your choices are: <OPTIONS/> </HELP>
3</CLASS>
This example illustrates how the OPTIONS element can be used to construct a “helpful” CLASS. Any STEPs that directly or indirectly name “helpful” as a PARENT respond to “help” by speaking the message, in which the OPTIONS element expands to a description of what can be said at this point in the dialog.
