textbox and user interaction
I'm wanting to get user interaction...textbox or checkboxes would be great. I want to allow someone to enter data into textbox. (this is the time I want to grab a photo from) Then I want to be able to check the different sizes I want for the image. Say 4 options.

Is this possible using the default Terminal on a Mac? I found this...it is buttons but the combination of textbox and checkboxes would be great.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
x=`/usr/bin/osascript <<EOT
tell application "Finder"
	activate
	set myReply to button returned of (display dialog "Here is a dialog box" default button 2 buttons {"button one", "button two", "OK"})
end tell
EOT`
echo 'Button is: '$x
if [[ $x = "OK" ]]; then 
echo 'Shell script continues...'
# Your
# Code
# Here
fi
echo 'Script ends.'
