I have this nasty suspicion that the window.close of the dialog destroys
all of the global variables making it impossible to return a property.
Generally the most convenient way is to pass input and output parameters
in a JavaScript object e.g.
function showDialog(aIn) {
    var params = { in: aIn, out: null };
    window.openDialog(..., "modal", params);
    return params.out;
}

then the dialog's script would have
var params = window.arguments[0];
var in = params.in;
etc.
