Hi Alex,

You can capture of the value of a by including it in the Dialog expression.

In[1]:= Module[{a}, Do[a = {i, Sin[i]}; Dialog[a], {i, 3}]]

Out[2]= {1, Sin[1]}

Out[2]= {2, Sin[2]}

Out[2]= {3, Sin[3]}

(Dialog) In[3]:= Return[]

(Dialog) In[3]:= Return[]

(Dialog) In[3]:= Return[]

Cheers,
Jean-Marc
