Personally I'd love to use a non-button dialog like mentioned below...

We tried something like this back in the System 7 days and it was amusing
(to some) how promptly it crashed.  I suspect we could get farther these
days since it is no longer common practice to blindly dereference a
window's refCon.  Considering it was Word doing it back then, we felt this
was too dangerous to ship.

Perhaps it's time to revisit this idea.
