Creating a answer hyperlink

[Stephen Barncard]

what about htmltext? Thanks to Eric's htmltext builder in his 
tutorials, I created the following script:

put "<p><font face=" & quote & "Charcoal" & quote & " size=" & quote 
& "36" & quote & ">DUDE</font></p>" & quote & "    & cr & " & quote & 
"<p><font face=" & quote & "Charcoal" & quote & ">YOU LEFT THE WATER 
RUNNING</font></p>" & quote & "    & cr & " & quote & "<p><font 
face=" & quote & "Charcoal" & quote & 
"><a>http://barncard.com</a></font></p>" into tPrompt

answer error tPrompt with "Cancel" or "OK" titled "Test" as sheet

This puts up a neat dialog with a clickable link - but according to 
the message watcher no messages are sent when clicked - even though 
the link does hilite.
Guess it has to be built. But it would be neat to send a message from 
the htmltext. The limitation is the dialog mode itself by definition.
