$DIALOG --title "My input box" --clear \<br>
--inputbox "Hi, this is a sample input box\n<br>
Try entering your name below:" 16 51 2> $tempfile<br>
<br>
The dialog program writes its output to the standard error by default. <br>
Hence the input string you enter is echoed to standard error which we <br>
are redirecting to our tempfile. You can capture the entered text from <br>
tempfile for further processing.
