When I use a command that has this statement

I'm not a programmer -- I just used the example from the TextMate book for the dialog box, and it worked until this last update to Version 1.5.6 (1414)
How can I fix this, please?
Yes, the book is a little behind the times on this point. Man software changes fast!
We've moved this library in TextMate's support libraries and it has undergone some changes. The first step to catching up is to switch your require to:
require "#{ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH']}/lib/ui"
Your code may just work with as little as that. If it doesn't, show the dialog part of the code and we will help you fix that up.

Ok. Now I get an error
/tmp/temp_textmate.eZSUIK:5: undefined local variable or method `dialog' for main:Object (NameError)
Here's what my dialog box is asking for (takes a selection and indents both ends):
require "#{ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH']}/lib/ui"
rtMargin = dialog.request_string( :prompt => "What is the (absolute) right margin?", :button1 => "OK").to_i indentSize = dialog.request_string( :prompt => "How much left margin indent?", :button1 => "OK").to_i
When I tried the change on my second command I got a slightly different error:
/tmp/temp_textmate.7qLRFt:11: uninitialized constant Dialog (NameError)
And the dialog command (takes a document and changes some numbers):
require "#{ENV["TM_SUPPORT_PATH"]}/lib/ui"
myFirstPage = Dialog.request_string( :prompt => "What is the first page number?", :button1 => "OK").to_i
Thanks for your help! Barbara
