want-gui-prompts: preference variable

Default value: 1

Bits in this variable control how Epsilon for Windows handles dialogs. The 1 bit tells Epsilon to display Windows-style dialogs for its prompts. Without it, Epsilon for Windows will avoid using Windows dialogs in many commands, and will draw text boxes instead, similar to the non-Windows versions of Epsilon.

Normally in a Windows dialog under Epsilon, the <Tab> key performs completion, just as in non-Windows versions of Epsilon. You can set the 2 bit to make it cycle through the dialog's controls instead, as in other Windows programs.

Similarly, in a Windows dialog under Epsilon, the <Esc> key normally performs completion. The 4 bit makes it cancel the current dialog instead, as in other Windows programs. (Regardless of this setting, pressing the abort key, normally Ctrl-g, always cancels the dialog.)
