     *   output on the monitor or terminal.  It also provides access to windowing
     *   features (via the "banner" functions) on systems that support multiple
     *   display windows (which doesn't necessarily mean GUI-type systems: many
     *   character-mode systems support the banner operations as well, simply by
     *   dividing up the character-mode screen into rectangular regions).

         *   message for the user to read, an icon indicating the general nature
         *   of the condition that gave rise to the dialog (an error, a warning,
         *   a choice for the user to make, etc.), and a set of push-buttons that
         *   dismiss the dialog and (in some cases) let the user choose among
         *   options.  'icon' is an InDlgIconXxx value giving the type of icon to
         *   show, if any; 'prompt' is the message string to display; 'buttons'
         *   gives the set of buttons to display; 'defaultButton' is the index
         *   (starting at 1) among the buttons of the default button; and
         *   'cancelButton' is the index of the cancellation button.
         *
         *   'buttons' can be given as an InDlgXxx constant (InDlgOk,
         *   InDlgOkCancel, etc.) to select one of the standard sets of buttons.
         *   Or, it can be a list giving a custom set of buttons, in which case
         *   each element of the list is either a string giving a custom label
         *   for the button, or one of the InDlgLblXxx values to select a
         *   standard label.  The standard labels should be used when possible,
         *   as these will be automatically localized; labels given explicitly as
         *   strings will be used exactly as given.  If a list of custom button
         *   labels is given, the buttons are displayed in the dialog in the
         *   order of the list (usually left to right, but this could vary
         *   according to system conventions and localization).
         *
         *   Each custom button label string can incorporate an ampersand ("&").
         *   The letter immediately following the ampersand, if provided, is used
         *   as the keyboard shortcut for the button.  This is particularly
         *   important on character-mode systems, where the "dialog" is typically
         *   shown merely as a text prompt, and the user responds by selecting
         *   the letter of the desired option.  Typically, you should use the
         *   first character of a button label as its keyboard shortcut, but this
         *   obviously won't work when two button labels have the same first
         *   letter; in these cases, you should choose another letter from the
         *   button label, preferably something like the first letter of the
         *   second word of the button label, or the first letter of the stressed
         *   syllable of the most important word of the label.
         *
         *   The return value is the index among the buttons of the button that
         *   the user selects to dismiss the dialog.  The function doesn't return
         *   until the user selects one of the buttons.

         *   simply display the prompt string and let the user type the name of a
         *   file directly.
         *
         *   'prompt' is the message string to display in the dialog to let the
         *   user know what type of file is being requested.  'dialogType' is one
         *   of the InFileXxx constants specifying whether the request is to
         *   select an existing file or to specify the name for a new file.
         *   'fileType' is a FileTypeXxx constant giving the format of the file
         *   being requested; this is used on some systems to filter the
         *   displayed list of existing files so that only files of the same
         *   format are included, to reduce clutter.  'flags' is reserved for
         *   future use and should simply be set to zero.
         *

         *   element of the result list; InFileFailure indicates a system error
         *   of some kind showing the dialog; and InFileCancel indicates that the
         *   user explicitly canceled the dialog.
         *
         *   On success (return list[1] == InFileSuccess), the list contains the

         *.     [4] = script warning message, or nil if no warning
         *
         *   The warning message is a string to be displayed to the user to warn
         *   about a possible error condition in the script input.  The script
         *   reader checks the file specified in the script to see if it's valid;
         *   if the dialog type is Open, the script reader verifies that the file
         *   exists, and for a Save dialog the reader warns if the file *does*
         *   already exist or is not writable.  In the conventional UI, the
         *   script reader displays these warnings directly to the user through
         *   the console UI, but this isn't possible in the Web UI since the user
         *   might be running on a remote browser.  Instead, the script reader
         *   still checks for the possible errors, but rather than displaying any
         *   warnings, it returns them here.  The caller is responsible for
         *   displaying the warning and asking the user for confirmation.
         *
         *   For localization purposes, the warning message starts with a
         *   two-letter code indicating the specific error, followed by a space,
         *   followed by the English text of the warning.  The codes are:
         *
         *.   OV - the script might overwrite an existing file (Save dialog)
         *.   WR - the file can't be created/written (Save dialog)
         *.   RD - the file doesn't exist/can't be read (Open dialog)
         *
         *   Note that the warning message will always be nil if the script
         *   reader displayed the warning message itself.  This means that your
         *   program can unconditionally display this message if it's non-nil -
         *   there's no danger that the script reader will have redundantly
         *   displayed the message.
