Remarks

Generally, Options dialog boxes affect the active document or layer, while Preferences set defaults for future documents or layers. The docwinID, though it must be included, is ignored for Preferences dialog boxes that affect the entire system. Therefore, you can show one of the Preferences dialog boxes even when no document windows are open.

You can only display dialog boxes that are available in your edition of Imagenation.
