Window manager plugin?

[J. Landman Gay]

If I change the "answer" line to this it works:

  answer warning pString with pBtn1 and pBtn2

If you want a more flexible handler that answers with regular, warning, 
or info icons, then you'd need to pass that in a parameter and branch 
the handler depending on the type. I wasn't able to get it to compile 
with this:

  answer pType pString with pBtn1 and pBtn2

so you'd need to do:

on answerWithLoc pType,pString,pBtn1,pBtn2
   set the vis of stack "answer dialog" to false
   switch pType
     case "warning"
       answer warning pString with pBtn1 and pBtn2
       break
     case "info"
       answer info pString with pBtn1 and pBtn2
       break
     default
       answer pString with pBtn1 and pBtn2
   end switch
   set the loc of stack "answer dialog" to the loc of this stack
   set the vis of stack "answer dialog" to true
end answerWithLoc
