    .PARAMETER Title
        The text to display preceeding the choice. In the ISE this title is displayed in the window title.

    .PARAMETER Message
        Some text that describes the choice. This is secondary to the title. In the ISE this text appears 
        as the message box text.
    
    .PARAMETER Options
        A collection of options specified as an ordered hashtable. The object supplied to the Options parameter
        must be an Ordered hash table. The 'Name' value is the text displayed on the menu button in the ISE or the 
        full option text in the Console Host. The 'Value' corresponds to the help message text for each supplied option. 
        This help text can be accessed in the shell by typing [?] for help or in the ISE by hovering over the button choice.
    
    .INPUTS
        None. You cannot pipe objects to Read-PromptForChoice.
    
    .OUTPUTS
