Can we make an alert appear upon selecting quit?

I have a student who wishes to be able to use the quit function applied to a button as usual, except she wants an alert box to pop up that asks, "Are you sure?" If the user chooses OK or its equivalent, the app would quit, but if they choose no, the app would not quit, and the user would be able to continue with the application.

Can anyone suggest the right code to use here? I've tried a few things, but I haven't been able to get it to work.

Thanks,

you need to set the exitLoc = true at the beginning of your movie (look in
lingo help about it)
use quitMsg xtras to trap alt+F4 (it's free and very easy to use, comes with
an example)
and for the dialog box, many solutions : xtras like buddyAPI, MUI, otherwise
you can do it in pure director, stage and lingo :o)
