/// @file cmd_ui.C
/// @brief Example for creating a native UI dialog.
///
/// This file provides a sample command that launches an HDK-based GUI dialog.
/// When launched as the 'cmd_ui' command from the hscript textport, it simply
/// brings up a dialog with some UI gadgets that do nothing.
/// 
/// It uses a cmd_ui.ui file that can found in the same place as this file.
/// For all platforms *except* OSX, cmd_ui. should be installed to:
/// @code
///     $HOME/houdiniX.Y/config/Applications/cmd_ui/
/// @endcode
/// On OSX, it should be installed to:
/// @code
///     $HOME/Library/Preferences/houdini/X.Y/config/Applications/cmd_ui/
/// @endcode
