Hello jeffrey
This should work.

set theRes to button returned of (display dialog "Dashboard Control." buttons {"Cancel", "Disable", "Enable"} default button 3)
-- it just dies if you hit cancel.
if theRes is "Disable" then
	do shell script "defaults write \ncom.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean YES; killall Dock"
	tell me
		activate
		display alert "Dashboard has been disabled."
	end tell
else
	do shell script "defaults write \ncom.apple.dashboard mcx-disabled -boolean NO ; killall Dock"
	tell me
		activate
		display alert "Dashboard has been enabled." buttons {"OK"}
	end tell
end if
