'Notification' is a great word here, and suggests the need in AS for
something just like that: a notify command. It's quite a different meaning
than 'dialog(ue)'. (And I know it's not exactly related to Daniel's
original question.)
If you haven't tried 'Growl', you haven't experienced a whole new world of
notifying the user about "things".
Growl notifications are flexible, user-controllable, scriptable and
stackable (meaning, they literally stack themselves if there are more than
one...try that with 'display dialog' ;)
Alternatively, if Smile is your development/execution environment, there are
some additional user interaction features available: 'postit' being a very
useful one for notifications.

Hello Paul. Glad to see your post. I wondered where you'd got off to.
