Thank you for the links, I think these contain what I need. What would be the standard way for controlling operators? I'm not trying to do anything special, really just looking for the most straightforward way to: 1) Add a bevel operator 2) Allow the user to change settings of the bevel operator 3) Freeze the object 4) Perform additional modeling operations
Step 2) is the only part where I need interactive user input. Once the user is happy and clicks OK, steps 3) and 4) must be automatically performed by the script.
