"Sigma (0-5)", sd=edit number (1),
"Effect (0-5)", eff=edit number (2),
"Sample (2-100)", n=edit number (2)),
h list(
button("Cancel"),
button("OK"))));
{a = 0.03, sd = 2, eff = 2, n = 50, Button(1)}
When you are ready to use some of the values, you have to unload them from the list returned:
sd = result["sd"];
eff = result["eff"];
Use EvalList to evaluate an entire list of assignments all at once:
RemoveFrom(result,5); // since Button() is undefined
EvalList(result);

following:
• A Column Dialog automatically includes the list of columns in the data table.
