Just for the sake of accuracy, it's "Annuler", with two n's and one l.
Dang, and after I tried to read it off the screen, too. French is
obviously not something I spend a lot of time around. Thanks for the
correction.

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"? :)
Not at this time, unless someone has come up with some really clever
hack that I don't know about. Reliable world-wide internationalization
of scripts is a difficult problem which we are gradually working on
solving. I'll write a bug on this particular aspect, since I don't
think anyone has yet. However, whatever the solution is would involve
changing the usage of "display dialog" somewhat, unless we want to be
English-centric and say that the button string "Cancel" is always the
localized "Cancel". (Hm, that might actually work pretty well.)

Holy nostalgia Batman, that brings me back to my prepubescent days and
MAD comic books--before it became a magazine.
You realize you said the exact same thing the last time I used
"potrzebie" in an example. :-) I learned it back in *my* prepubescent
days, but I was reading a book of reprints. "Frotz" isn't from MAD
(that I'm aware of); I know it from the Infocom "Enchanter" series of
games. (It was the name of the spell that produced light. Don't frotz
yourself, or "Enchanter" will be unsolvable!)
