Product Description:

24U Appearance OSAX extends the AppleScript functions of communication with a user by those you have missed when writing your scripts under the Mac OS X system.
Also available as part of 24U Scripting Pack!

This OSAX is useful especially for scripters who:

need to interact with user
feel too limited with the standard "display dialog"
prefer tools which are easy to understand and easy to use
want to try the software before paying for it

24U Appearance OSAX 2.1 allows AppleScript to communicate with user in many more ways than those offered by basic installation. While preserving maximum easiness of use, 24U Appearance OSAX extends AppleScipt with the following features:

dialog boxes for user data input, including text fields, password fields, checkboxes, and radio buttons
pop-up menus in your "better dialogs"
modern Appearance savvy alerts with explanation text, help button, non-blocking, movable, switchable to background
floating progress bars, Mac OS X Appearance savvy
text messages floating above all other screen objects
system notifications

What's new in this version:

Better Dialog Utility for easy configuration of dialogs
Installer for installing the OSAX easily to the proper place
Script examples added into the OSAX dictionary
Using Scripting Additions guide for beginners
Automator actions for displaying progress indicator
24U OSAX Bundler Lite for easy bundling
Developer licenses for sublicensing are supported again
"display alert" renamed to "display better alert" as a reaction to the Apple's inclusion of "display alert" in Standard Additions
New command "version of Appearance OSAX" for easier version checking
Every part of the distribution is universal binary for both PowerPC and Intel based Macs

CV.

AppleScript Studio has a somewhat steep learning curve. This OSAX rules. And you can't beat AppleScript in its ease of use. The only thing that bothers me is the price tag, so you lose a star for the greediness.
