I believe Dialog has been renamed UI and is already included in TextMate at TextMate.app/Contents/SharedSupport/Support/lib/ui.rb

You can call UI with something like: require ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH'] + '/lib/ui.rb'

That's the ruby library that interfaces with Dialog. Dialog 2 is included in Textmate now, so no need to compile it.

Is there a good tutorial/reference/resource on using ui.rb? I'm having trouble finding information on it. Maybe I'm not Googling the right terms, but I could really use a good, gentle introduction to ui.rb.

Part of my problem is I know very little ruby but I'm forcing myself to learn by writing commands in ruby.

Thanks in advance.
