Gary,

Some excellent development resources can be found at www.falch.net,
particularly, IMO, the news groups at news.falch.net (lot's of answers
to lots of development questions.) :-)

This specific group tends to be discussions above the code level --
though there is a good chance someone here will know the answer to
your alert / dodialog question. 

Good luck with it,
Frank
