John, Sorry I didn't realise that further discussion with Gary was off list.
I believe Gary's concerns have been addressed, His main misunderstanding was in the term dialog. I was always referring to a GUI dialog box and Gary appears to have thought I was taking about a CLI dialogue between the system and the CLI user. I will summarise the responses below.
