Xandra, I think what Matt is interested in is displaying notifications, not
dialog boxes with icons. In OS 8.6 (or is it OS 9?) and later,
notifications are displayed in a special floating window that has a yellow
background. To display such a notification, you will indeed need the help
of a third-party scripting addition.
