Hi Aaron:

The documentation is simply out of date, that's all. The behaviour you 
describe is as expected - when version 0.8.2 (I think!) of PythonCard 
was released, the dialog components were changed so that they are 
sub-classes of wx.lib.dialogs.

Where the documentation talks about a dictionary item, e.g. 
result['someName'], you just substitute result.someName.

The change was designed to make some bits of PythonCard more 'pythonic' 
and to make it easier to hand-roll your own custom dialogs.
