You don't mention which scripting language you are using with Illustrator…? In JavaScript there are standard window types alert(), confirm() & prompt() for everything that requires more you use scriptUI and there is a very good starters guide PDF by Peter Kahrel that can be found in the ID scripting forum…

Thanks for the Peter Kahrel recommendation.   I forgot there are multiple scripting languages.  I'm using Javascript with the ExtendScript app.

The PDF by Peter is meant to work alongside the Tool Kit Guide PDF produced by Adobe. That also contains a section on the 'window' class and scriptUI. Peter's just has better working examples… to get you started… The Tool Kit guide also covers all the stuff that is available suite wide and not specific to any app…
