     *   message for the user to read, an icon indicating the general nature
     *   of the condition that gave rise to the dialog (an error, a warning,
     *   a choice for the user to make, etc.), and a set of push-buttons that
     *   dismiss the dialog and (in some cases) let the user choose among
     *   options.  'icon' is an InDlgIconXxx value giving the type of icon to
     *   show, if any; 'prompt' is the message string to display; 'buttons'
     *   gives the set of buttons to display; 'defaultButton' is the index
     *   (starting at 1) among the buttons of the default button; and
     *   'cancelButton' is the index of the cancellation button.
     *   
     *   'buttons' can be given as an InDlgXxx constant (InDlgOk,
     *   InDlgOkCancel, etc.) to select one of the standard sets of buttons.
     *   Or, it can be a list giving a custom set of buttons, in which case
     *   each element of the list is either a string giving a custom label
     *   for the button, or one of the InDlgLblXxx values to select a
     *   standard label.  The standard labels should be used when possible,
     *   as these will be automatically localized; labels given explicitly as
     *   strings will be used exactly as given.  If a list of custom button
     *   labels is given, the buttons are displayed in the dialog in the
     *   order of the list (usually left to right, but this could vary
     *   according to system conventions and localization).
     *   
     *   Each custom button label string can incorporate an ampersand ("&").
     *   The letter immediately following the ampersand, if provided, is used
     *   as the keyboard shortcut for the button.  This is particularly
     *   important on character-mode systems, where the "dialog" is typically
     *   shown merely as a text prompt, and the user responds by selecting
     *   the letter of the desired option.  Typically, you should use the
     *   first character of a button label as its keyboard shortcut, but this
     *   obviously won't work when two button labels have the same first
     *   letter; in these cases, you should choose another letter from the
     *   button label, preferably something like the first letter of the
     *   second word of the button label, or the first letter of the stressed
     *   syllable of the most important word of the label.
     *   
     *   The return value is the index among the buttons of the button that
     *   the user selects to dismiss the dialog.  The function doesn't return
     *   until the user selects one of the buttons.

    /* 
     *   Display a file selector dialog.  This prompts the user to select a
     *   file.  On GUI systems, this will typically display the standard
     *   system file selection dialog; on character-mode systems, it might
     *   simply display the prompt string and let the user type the name of a
     *   file directly.
     *   
     *   'prompt' is the message string to display in the dialog to let the
     *   user know what type of file is being requested.  'dialogType' is one
     *   of the InFileXxx constants specifying whether the request is to
     *   select an existing file or to specify the name for a new file.
     *   'fileType' is a FileTypeXxx constant giving the format of the file
     *   being requested; this is used on some systems to filter the
     *   displayed list of existing files so that only files of the same
     *   format are included, to reduce clutter.  'flags' is reserved for
     *   future use and should simply be set to zero.
     *   
     *   The return value is a list.  The first element is an integer giving
     *   the status: InFileSuccess indicates that the user successfully
     *   selected a file, whose name is given as a string in the second
     *   element of the result list; InFileFailure indicates a system error
     *   of some kind showing the dialog; and InFileCancel indicates that the
     *   user explicitly canceled the dialog.
     *   
     *   On success (return list[1] == InFileSuccess), the list contains the
     *   following additional elements:
     *   
     *.     [2] = the selected filename
     *.     [3] = nil (reserved for future use)
     *.     [4] = script warning message, or nil if no warning
     *   
     *   The warning message is a string to be displayed to the user to warn
     *   about a possible error condition in the script input.  The script
     *   reader checks the file specified in the script to see if it's valid;
     *   if the dialog type is Open, the script reader verifies that the file
     *   exists, and for a Save dialog the reader warns if the file *does*
     *   already exist or is not writable.  In the conventional UI, the
     *   script reader displays these warnings directly to the user through
     *   the console UI, but this isn't possible in the Web UI since the user
     *   might be running on a remote browser.  Instead, the script reader
     *   still checks for the possible errors, but rather than displaying any
     *   warnings, it returns them here.  The caller is responsible for
     *   displaying the warning and asking the user for confirmation.
     *   
     *   For localization purposes, the warning message starts with a
     *   two-letter code indicating the specific error, followed by a space,
     *   followed by the English text of the warning.  The codes are:
     *   
     *.   OV - the script might overwrite an existing file (Save dialog)
     *.   WR - the file can't be created/written (Save dialog)
     *.   RD - the file doesn't exist/can't be read (Open dialog)
     *   
     *   Note that the warning message will always be nil if the script
     *   reader displayed the warning message itself.  This means that your
     *   program can unconditionally display this message if it's non-nil -
     *   there's no danger that the script reader will have redundantly
     *   displayed the message.

     *   type using flags.  This flag is used only in "get status" requests
     *   (ScriptReqGetStatus) - it's included in the returned flags if
     *   applicable.  The purpose of this flag is to let you determine what

     *   script reader how to interpret the script.

     *   constants for details.  Note that calling this function with a
     *   ScriptReqXxx constant on an VM prior to 3.0.17 will result in a
