At 11:21p -0700 09/14/2003, Christopher Nebel didst inscribe upon an electronic papyrus:

[...]there's a special rule in "display dialog" -- if there's a button named "Cancel" [1], and the user presses it, "display dialog" will throw a "user canceled" error -- if your script doesn't trap it, then the script will end. (I'm not sure I really recommend this, since it's a bit obscure, but it's an interesting trick.)

[1] Actually, the magic name depends on the name of the "Cancel" button in your primary language. For a French user, for example, this would be "Anuller".

Is there any way for U.S. scripters to ensure that the Cancel button will work in non-U.S. systems? If not, can we get it "bugged"? :)

Holy nostalgia Batman, that brings me back to my prepubescent days and MAD comic books--before it became a magazine.

I miss Sen~or Prohias; Spy vs. Spy just isn't the same without him.

Velveeta is to American cheese as American cheese is to cheese

LOL. And "American cheese" is embarrassing to me as a U.S. citizen. ;)
I wonder what Jay Leno would do for the "you have to call it what it really is" routine...
