I ran into another LC 9.6.9rc2 regression, this time with the Ask 
dialog. See https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=24044

Any chance of pointing me to what line in C:\Program 
Files\RunRev\LiveCode 9.6.9 (rc 
2)\Toolset\palettes\ask-dialog\revaskdialog.livecodescript i need to add 
to fix this?

Thanks in advance,
