_MinVersion_ "7.0" Minimum version required

Thanks grandfather, that's pretty nifty in not much space. SettingsDialog goes one extra inch I suppose, for those who want automatic type checking and pickers for dates, files etc. And dropdown lists, which I find handy sometimes (for example I'm working on yet another "Extract Method" for Perl, which uses SettingsDialog to present the options of passing each sub parameter by reference or value, or omitting it altogether, and that seems to want a dropdown menu).
