parameter v in $input wont to work with parameter e, because the result of $input with parameter e will give back a string, if any, or $null if no string/text given.

Code:
alias inputtest {
  var %msgbox = connect with create new server window? $crlf $&
    $+ 'yes' $chr(9) yes, i will $crlf $&
    $+ 'no' $chr(9) no, keept this one $crlf $&
    $+ 'cancel' $chr(9) back to dialog
  echo -a ::: $input(%msgbox,nqv,information)
}
