Bug#426873: jed: no "cancel" option when accidentally exiting

Package: jed
Version: 0.99.18-8.etch.4
Severity: wishlist

When one selects the "exit" option from jed without having first saved
the buffer, a prompt appears offering the option of saving the file or
not saving it. So far so good...

But if the selection of the "exit" option was the result of
accidentally pressing the wrong key, this prompt is not fully
appropriate. It lacks a "cancel" option, so there is no way to recover
from one's mistake without exiting the editor (and saving the file)
then firing up the editor again.

This is especially annoying when using jed to compose emails from mutt.

I request that the "save file y/n" exit prompt should be altered to
"y/n/cancel", with the "cancel" option returning you to the editor.
