Do you allow for an *update* of the dialog window? -> a mere _GetNewDialog
will just display the window and draw the buttons, but any additional items
(such as editText,...) will not be drawn. _ModalDialog, for instance, deals
with update events reguarding the active dialog window (and hence draws
EditTexts, Pictures, etc.).
Thus, if you are using _GetNewDialog *only*, try adding a _ModalDialog call...
(you can also check by adding an EditText item with ResEdit - if this does
not show up, too, then my diagnosis should be correct).

hope this helps,
