As you all probably know (or should know :-), some aircraft have config
dialogs (most of them are bound to the Tab-key: bo105, c150, Lightning,
OV-10). Until recently, those had to be purely Nasal-generated dialogs.
Nothing wrong with that, and very powerful, too. But in many cases, a
simple XML dialog would be enough, and much easier to write. Since a few
days it's possible to load XML dialogs for that from Nasal context.
Example:
var dlg = props.globals.getNode("/sim/gui/dialogs/s64e/config/dialog", 1);
gui.loadXMLDialog(dlg, "Aircraft/s64e/config-dialog.xml");
fgcommand("dialog-show", dlg);
That is: decide for a node to load the XML file to (it currently *needs*
to be called "dialog", due to a dialog.cxx limitation, but that's not a
problem). Then load the dialog, and show/close it whenever you feel like
it.

PS: thanks to Andy, this also works with dialogs now that have embedded
<nasal><open> or <nasal><close> code blocks.
