Hi Ken,
Look at the examples at the sites listed below.
George

1. File Open and Save As

See http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/macros/OpenDialogDemo.txt for File Open
See http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/developer/macro/functions.html#S for saveAs

2. Prompting the user for data that could be used in a text field, which
would later be applied to the image as a flattened overlay.

http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/macros/DialogDemo.txt
See the addString/getString example.

3. Prompt the user to decide to invert the image at a specific point in the
analysis.

See the addCheckbox/getCheckbox example in the DialogDemo.txt.  This will
return a boolean.
