Ah, I see. Totally different solutions.  When you asked about replacing 
the Ask and Answer dialogs with custom ones I thought you were looking 
to use them in the same manner, calling the same two dialogs for 
different purposes using the "ask" and "answer" commands.

But if the question is really "Will two dialogs take less space than 
14?", that will usually be "yes". :)
