Is there a way to tell the difference between the "OK" button being clicked with no text, and the "Cancel" button being clicked, on the ask command? As far as I can tell the Cancel button makes 'it' empty, but this is also the case if the user doesn't type anything, and just clicks OK. Thanks, Morris

If it is blank and OK was used then both it and the result will be empty. If cancel is used then it is empty put the result contains cancel.

While I don't see it in the documentation, I seem to recall that the
result contains something (cancel?) that will let you know which button
was hit to dismiss the dialog.
(I just tried it, it does return "cancel" in the result.)
