Very helpful, thnx guys. Finally, I just wanna be clear on one last detail: my understanding is that since we aren't coding a webpage, the "window" & "document' objects are not available to us - as a result, we can't call the alert, prompt, or confirm message boxes. Is that correct?
Nope. I already said you could, if you use the Windows API:

No but you have basically full access to the Windows API. http://msdn.microsoft.com
...Which means you can call whatever message box, alert message, confirmation dialog, input box, file open/save dialogs, etc, you want.

Using the Windows API you can almost do whatever you want.
