I've had my own problems with Cmdr. Dialog. They are pretty much they same
as Edgar and Chris mention, with one highly noticeableably insufferable
incarnation: when shutting down under MultiFinder, the Mac cycles through
all open applications, quitting. Dialog makes this cycle time horribly
long! Aaaauuuugghhh! (It's the worst if there was a pending dialog box
in one of the apps: forever to fill in the box, a while to cancel, longer
to quit from the app...)

I was terribly disappointed, because Cmdr. Dialog actually got the
function keys on my extended keyboard to work, where the old Saratoga
INIT wouldn't. (BTW: I've got an SE/30, with 4 M and the internal 80.)

Still looking for an INIT to do that...
