I have a question and a comment:

Question:  Does quickkeys work for modifying dialog-boxes so that certain
buttons will operate from the keyboard?

Comment:  After my initial reply to read the introduction to Scott Knaster's
book "Macintosh Programming Secrets", I have since read much more of the
book and think that most of the questions asked are answered by Scott.  I'd
like to take a moment to plug this book for anyone who considers themselves
a power user or extreme Macintosh hobbiest/programmer.  It is fun to read,
having some great jokes and funny passages, and has some insight to how to
create portable software for power users.  Okay, it is somewhat disorganized
and Scott rattles on here and there, but I have been finding it helpful none-
theless.  It also has some insights into the SE and II.
