Project: Examples of using custom dialog and messages in Sublime 2

Platform: tested only on a Mac

File Name: mrm_example_dialogs.py

Place file in your User folder

On Mac it is:
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2/Packages/User

On a Mac, this is hidden, find the folder by going to Finder and
Go | Go to Folder
~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 2
press ENTER


How to add a Command to the Command Palette  (Cmd-Shift-P) on Mac

1- Create a folder in
   Packages/Default/Default.sublime-commands
   There is same file in
   Packages/User/Default.sublime-commands
   don't modify files in Packages/Default, they will be overwritten when upgrading
   always use User folder for user specific settings

2- add this to file
[
    {
        "caption": "Run Example 1",
        "command": "example1"
    }
]


3- Then you can press Cmd-Shift_P, and type in: Ru
   and you will see this on list

Rev #1 - updated "print" to work with Python 3 and Python 2

I posted this on Sublime Text's support forum to get some feedback

updated the print so it will work in Python 3, which comes with Sublime Text 3
