     Is there any way to pop up a do-it-yourself dialog box in FMP2.0?  
I have a script that will only work correctly if the user selects a record to
start from (in a view as list type of layout) before running the script.
I'd like to put a message like "select a line to start from and push the OK 
button" at the begining of the script.   
     Because the script does a find / relookup, the results would be ugly if 
it occured on the wrong (older) records.
     Also, thanks to Nick and Laurie for their assistance on my previous 
question.
