Just want to make sure this doesn't escape everyone's notice.  I just had 
occasion to use this nifty new feature today!

Did you know that in RBase X you can now have a "DIALOG" command that accepts a 
variable other than text?  No more need to have a text variable in your Dialog 
and then do a conversion to get the integer/date/whatever you really need!

What happens if you type in an invalid value?  If you had your error messages 
on, you would see the standard "variable not the same type" error message and 
it would exit the Dialog.  If your messages are off, the dialog would just 
disappear and your variable would be null.  So after the dialog, just test if 
the value is null to see if they typed in something incorrect.
