Quite.
I never drink vodka.
But a "box" is not a BOX, and more than a "button" on a computer screen
has anything whatsoever to do
with buttons on my radio.
If I drink Rakia (the Bulgarian homologue of Whisky) I can feel this
intuitively.
I was not so daft as to use the word BOX without quotation marks as,
oddly enough, I am aware that a box is often
an object consisting of 5 or six rectangles making a container (but NOT
a solid object).
When writing about a "box" on a screen, knowing that everything on a
computer screen is part of some
gloriously extended metaphor I use quotation marks.
Right, I'm off for a modest glass of rakia and a slightly more generous
9 hours sleep.

Technically, a box is a 3 dimentional object made of 6 rectangles each joined
at the corners to form a solid object. If there are one of those on your screen
and it's talking to you, I'd lay off the kimche for a bit and get some sleep.
Oh, and when drinking vodka, don't eat the worm!!!

If the "box" is just a rectangle then it is probably some sort of modeless
window,
if the "box" is 'talking' to me then it's an ask/answer thing (which have
always struck me as
labelled the wrong way round).
