	The ~~"\@{{DI\n" will display~~ the dialogue box ~~as an informational Box.~~		The script above produces the following dialogue box:

	To display an error box, use the following instead of the last line in the example ~~above~~:		[[FILE:DialogueBox.jpg]]


			''Information Box:''

			The "\@{{DI\n" in the last line of the script (above) causes the dialogue box to be an information Box.

	Note that an enquiry box is only really effective if executed from the "(M) Post Processing" script in a Menu option, and then only if there is some other action pending after the post processing script has run. The entire post processing script is run to completion without the script being aware of the reply to the enquiry. If the reply is "No", then any remaining scripts to be run - such as 'Integration Class' scripts will NOT be run, whereas if the reply is "Yes" then all remaining scripts will be actioned. An example for the use of the enquiry box would be a question of whether a user account that has just been created should also be added to the subscriber database (via an 'Integration Class' script). If the answer given is "No" then the Integration Class script to add the subscriber pointer will NOT be run.
