I wrote a dialog of my own using Microsoft Visual C++, which you can get from: ftp://metric.ma.ic.ac.uk/project/DialogBox/inputbox2.0/Windows/ To run the program as written, get the file inputbox.exe and install it in the main Mathematica directory. Then in Mma do link=Install["inputbox.exe"] which installs the function TMPInputBox. It behaves exactly like InputString rather than Input, so it returns a string. If you know C++ you could write a dialog to replace Input. BTW, I make no claims for the quality of my C++ code, it works and that's about it.
