DIALOGUE
Syntax: DIALOGUE <title> <caption> <variable> [<x> <y>]
This command enables you to display a simple dialog box with a specified title,
containing two buttons (Ok and Cancel) and a single line text box with a specified
caption, where
<title> is the text to be displayed in the title bar of the dialog box, as specified
by a string delimited by double quotes or a string variable.
<caption> is the text that will appear to the left or above the text box, as specified
by a string delimited by double quotes or a string variable.
<variable> is a previously defined string variable (see var) which is used to store
the text entered in the text box by the user, but only if the Ok button is
pressed, otherwise the variable is set to NULL. Text stored in this
variable will be displayed in the text box by default when the dialog is
viewed again later.
<x> <y> specify the horizontal and vertical position of the top left corner of the
dialog box in relation to the top left corner of the screen in pixels.
These can be integers or variables.
The following example will display a dialog box titled User containing a text box
with the prompt Enter your name:, and cause the text entered in the text box by the
user to be stored in the string variable name when the Ok button is pressed.
dialogue "User" "Enter your name: " name 100 100
