I'm using what is pretty much a universal convention to
signify that the default choice is "y"; I hope documentation
for something so small is not needed but if it is, let me
know and I'll do that also.

-                     printf "Hit return to launch '%s': " \
+                     printf "Launch '%s' [y]/n: " \

I think I've seen this done as: "do this? [Y/n]" elsewhere.

Not telling you what to do, but trying to feel what others may think.

I think so, too.  The [y]/n syntax is not clear enough for me to
confidently know what the default value will be.
