Assuming Ruby:

	require "#{ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH']}/lib/escape"
	require "#{ENV['TM_SUPPORT_PATH']}/lib/osx/plist"

to get methods for e.g. shell escaping and plist stuff, respectively. 
Then you could write code like

	defaults = {"key" => "value", "key2" => "value2"}
	response = `$DIALOG -p #{e_sh defaults.to_plist} #{e_sh 
"#{ENV['TM_BUNDLE_SUPPORT']}/nib/SomeDialog.nib"}`
	response_hash = PropertyList::load(response)
	puts "key2 is now #{response_hash["key2"]}!"

I believe the hash must have string keys, not symbol keys. e_sh() 
escapes for the shell.
