Kirk,
In my version of help it says :
"Remarks
The dialog box displays an edit box and OK and Cancel buttons. The OK button always returns the contents of the text box. The Cancel button always returns an empty string. A timeout will return the specified text in cTimeoutValue or an empty string if cTimeoutValue is not passed."

If 'Cancel' returned the default value then there wouldn't be a way of detecting user pressed 'Cancel'
