Alain: Me too, please.

Alain: How about dialogs that must appear to the user
when he does it manually, but which we don't want to
display when this same action is taken by a script?

Alain: Why are you insisting so strenuously that it
must not be hard-coded?
Alain: I suggest some optional syntax and/or some new
properties :
1. lock dialogs
-- similar to existing "lock error dialogs"
2. set lockDialogs to true
-- similar to existing "set lockScreen to true "
3. doMenu menuItem [with/without dialog] [with keys]
-- identical to existing HyperTalk syntax
