Input Dialog</A>
</H1>
The input dialog ``-i'' is designed for getting more specific input from the user.  It works by printing a string to stdin.  The number of strings depends upon which type of input dialog you are using, of which there are three.  If the user selects the built in ``Ok'' button on the dialog, the return code is 0, and if they select the built in ``x'', then it is -1, and no output is given.
