You need a msgbox
http://download.autodesk.com/global/docs/softimage2014/en_us/sdkguide/si_om/XSIUIToolkit.MsgBox.html
1 is the ok/cancel style box, if you then print the variable you will see
the result of what they picked, as you can see it returns 1 if the user
clicked ok, or 2 if the cancelled (or pressed x)
EG:
box = XSIUIToolkit.MsgBox('hello', 1, 'lalal' )
print box
if box == 1:
print 'ok'
if box == 2:
print 'cancelled'
for 2) if you are doing stuff with v### and file paths I recommend you use
regular expression though daunting, sites like this are extremely useful
