Thanks for the suggestion, but there are other places where yes/no are used so I think it's okay to keep things as they are. Particularly when deleting data, it seems safer to require three characters.

While I can see keeping a full "yes" vs. "no" for more dangerous operations such as deletion, it just gets in the way when answering more routine questions. I'd be glad to search for other locations where yes/no is answered on input, and modify similarly where there is no risk of data-loss if consistency is an issue.
