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.'

dthelpreturnselectedwidgetid

DtHelpReturnSelectedWidgetId(library call)								DtHelpReturnSelectedWidgetId(library call)

NAME

       DtHelpReturnSelectedWidgetId -- select a widget or gadget

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Dt/Help.h>
       int DtHelpReturnSelectedWidgetId(
       Widget parent,
       String cursor,
       Widget *widget);

DESCRIPTION

       The DtHelpReturnSelectedWidgetId function provides an interface for users to select a component within an application.

       This function grabs the pointer and returns the widget within which a button press occurs.  Pressing the escape key (ESC) aborts this func-
       tion.

       The parent argument specifies the widget ID to use as the basis of the interaction, usually a top level shell.

       The cursor argument specifies the cursor to be used for the pointer during the interaction.  If a NULL value is used, DtHelpReturnSelected-
       WidgetId uses a default cursor value.

       The widget argument is the return value (for example, the selected widget).  A NULL value is returned on error.

       The DtHelpReturnSelectedWidgetId function allows applications to get the widget ID for any widget in their user interface that the user has
       selected via the pointer.  The application can then directly display a help topic based on the selected widget,	or  dynamically  construct
       some  help  information	based  on the current context of the selected item.  At any point while the question mark cursor is displayed, the
       user can select the escape key to abort the function call, and a NULL value is returned.  If the user selects any item outside the  current
       applications windows, an error status is returned along with a NULL value for the widget argument.  Refer to XmTrackingLocate(3) for a sim-
       ilar function.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, the DtHelpReturnSelectedWidgetId function returns one of the following status values:

       DtHELP_SELECT_ERROR
		 An error occurred while attempting to process the function.

       DtHELP_SELECT_INVALID
		 The user selected an invalid component that is not contained in the current widget hierarchy.

       DtHELP_SELECT_ABORT
		 The user aborted the function (for example, pressed the escape key), and a NULL widget value is passed back.

       DtHELP_SELECT_VALID
		 The user selected a valid component within the application, and the widget argument is the ID of the selected component.
