I have played a bit with most of the new Evaluator Dialog Functions.
The File Open and Save Dialogs are very nice !
I'm not sure how I'll use them at this time, but I can tell you that the syntax separator to make multiple buttons is just a logical OR in quotes.
Dialog("r", "Fun", "B1|B2|B3", "Hello");

The document has not been updated; other dialog parameters:
Dialog("s", "Edit", "v");
Dialog("d", "Browse", "C:");
Dialog("f", "Open", "C:");
We also need an input dropdown combo box, like this:
Dialog("sd", "Edit", "v1|v2|v3")

I was actually referring to this combo dialog. . .
But the choices dialog added in 13.19.4 is necessary, and it would be better if it could be added.

That's a script-generated dialog, not one of the built in ones. Evaluator can only do the simple dialogs like {dlgstring} etc.
Not documented in tooltip but find that add "a" to "sa" to select string "Blabla".
Dialog("sa", "Test", "Blabla", 6, "A|B", "Title");

Yes, but it would be better if it could have a built-in editable dropdown dialog, without the extra controls shown in the screenshot above.

Well, this isn't editable, but I did get the new dropdown menu working.
expression = ArrayCreate( "This", "is", "a", "collection", "of", "words" );
Dialog("cs","Hello", expression);
