I have never used Dialog before, but the problem seems to be that
"local" variables are simply renamed variables in Mathematica.
Try this: Module[{a}, a]
I do not know why did they choose this solution for local variables ...
I have no idea about how could you get the "local name" of 'a' in the
example you gave.
