I certainly wouldn't want to have to return to the finder, or
whichever app launched the script, each time I display a dialog.
If you keep your script applet frontmost, the user will be able to
stop it without fighting with your script activating applications. Do
you usually find it necessary to bring applications to the front while
controlling them from another process? Note I said "usually". How much
of the time is it a requirement?
