Notes

• A standard button will briefly highlight ("flash") when it is clicked.
• The verb clickDefaultButton() is provided as an alternative to acceptDialog(). As noted in the description, it cannot actually identify the default button (if any). The verb simply types enter, the standard Macintosh equivalent.
• To click a whole series of dialog items in one step, use clickSequence [a mouse verb].
• The pop-up menu verbs are documented in the section on Menu Verbs.
• Player's dialog query verbs are documented in the section on Query Verbs.
