Create and open a dialog box that waits for the user to hit the "OK" button before it disappears and the applet finishes. Have the applet add the label "Back from dialog..." to its display when the OK dialog has returned. Hide and dispose of the dialog box right before adding the label.

Skeleton Code

Tasks

1.	Create an applet with an `init()` method that makes a dummy `Frame` (because dialogs can only be "children" of frames) and then creates an `OKDialog` and shows the dialog. (`OKDialog` is defined in the next task.)
2.	Create `OKDialog` as a subclass of `BlockingDialog` (provided for you). It should add the label "Hit the button..." followed by an "OK" button. Use a `FlowLayout` object for geometry management and resize it to 100 x 100.
3.	In the applet's `init()` method: Call `waitForResponse()` (a blocking method) on the dialog right after showing it When the dialog (that is, `waitForResponse()`) returns, add the label "Back from dialog..." to the applet Dispose of the dialog

Demonstration

This exercise only runs within browsers that support the Java Runtime Environment 1.1 and appletviewer. If you are using an appropriate browser, try this exercise. The output should look similar to the following:

A dialog box should appear outside of the browser. If this does not occur, your browser does not handle dialog boxes properly.
