Hmm.  Some good ideas, but I'm not to keen on the applescript angle.  I 
hadn't considered the lack of a timeout for the dialog, although one 
might be able to use Mac::Dialogs to create a dialog that times out on 
its own...

The ol' thought processes are rolling though. Code may in fact be 
forthcoming...
