Let me give a better example
Or an even better, more useful one:
Very frequently, I want to post a final dialog when a user cancels, such as
"No changes were made to your preferences. Run the script again when ready."
And sometimes I need to "undo" a few things as well to make sure that
changes made earlier in the script now won't take effect. With 'display
dialog', you can do that by the "trick cancel' i used in the Christmas
example:
button {" Cancel ", " OK "}
where the cancel is not an automatic error number -128 but lets you do other
things first, before finally canceling.
'false' is what lets you do the same thing in 'choose from list'. Yes, maybe
that could have been effected as in 'display dialog' by only canceling
automatically when the name of the cancel button is not changed to something
else (like " Cancel " or anything else). But this is how it works. 'false'
should, of course, be documented in the Standard Additions dictionary.
