Taking a look at what the 'ask' and 'answer' dialogs do doesn't give a
complete picture. I mean when someone makes a dialog, he also needs to make
a function that calls a dialog. So I also want to know what the handler
"ask" does and how the variable 'it' is filled.

At the moment I am making a replacement for 'showList', one of my favourites
from the HyperCard powertools stack.

So I need:
function showList parameter, parameters, evenMoreParameters
  set the dialogData to parameter&","&parameters&","&evenMoreParameters
  go stack "showList"
  return the dialogData
end showList

It is short and simple, but when you don't know, its difficult to figure out
what to do.
