A dialog box (or dialog) differs from a (general) window in that a dialog box has a focus that must be terminated before the application can resume. IOW, it ties up the application until it is acted upon. The Stylist window need not be acted upon and can remain open, if desired. A dialog box disappears from view (and is essentially nonexistent) after its use (i.e., its reason to exist) is over.
Hmmm... does that mean the Find & Replace thingy is a "window," not a "dialog"? Or is it something else again, technically? There are several others, such as Fields, that can be put to one side of the screen and used now and then. They look like a dialog but don't tie up the app until acted upon.
