Enabling a command forever - too easy

In GNU Emacs 18.55.6 of Mon Jun 25 1990 on icule (usg-unix-v)

Hi people.  I find it too easy to enable a command forever, by
mistake.  Here how it goes.  I request a disabled command which I
intend to use a few times for this Emacs session.  Emacs opens the
warning window, then prompts me:

	Type y, n or Space:

I answer `y RET' to the prompt.  Then, Emacs asks:

	Enable command for future editing session also? (y or n)

Another `y RET' is sufficient to make the command permanent.  I would
like that Emacs rather force me to spell `yes' in three letters.  It
would go with the spirit of a few other commands which requires an
explicit `yes' or `no'.
