i've been having problems with popup2 not playing nicely with $controls$ and i've had some trouble with the evars that refrence to stuff inside the control panel (like the net connections)

also a good way to input a string, just a regular string. probably as an extension of that common dialog module, but it was just a thought

i agree with what's been said (rubs it in some more): i would love some real alpha transparency. LSXcommand needs some major fixing to get it to work with transparent stuff.
