According to the help file:
Remarks
The value MESSAGEBOX( ) returns indicates which button in the dialog box was chosen. In dialog boxes with a Cancel button, pressing ESC to exit the dialog box returns the same value (2) as choosing Cancel.
Note that the shortest abbreviation for this function is MESSAGEB( ).
The following table lists the values MESSAGEBOX( ) returns for each button.
Return value Button
1 OK
2 Cancel
3 Abort
4 Retry
5 Ignore
6 Yes
7 No
You also use:

Intuitive no, but consisten with other languages.
I decided to write my own messagebox wrappers to handle this. Check out:
faq184-4346 Messagebox - YESNO
faq184-4348 Messagebox - INFO
faq184-4347 Messagebox - STOP
These will also display the proper icon and application name.
