popup dialogs from Lua (Re: can i both write & read a pipe?)

[Asko Kauppi <asko.kauppi@...>]

The script can be fed line-wise as cmdline params, and since they're 
normally small scripts (some ten lines, max) I'll use that.  The added 
annoyance is escape-enveloping the params, of course. But it works 
(already) :)

I don't want to go the C road.  There's no need - if I did I could just 
as well do the dialog module directly in C without AppleScript. But 
this allows GUI dialogs from Lua _without_ any C code.  Sorta cool. :)

Next I'll need info on how to launch popup dialogs in Linux/X11.. 
anyone care to teach?
