Answer 1

For some reason this will return yes when you click ok but won't return no if you click cancel:
That's because, by default, the 'cancel' button immediately exits the script, so it never gets to the 'return no' code.
To catch the cancel you need to wrap the code in an try block, like:
try
  if button returned of (display dialog "what a strange" & return & "SCRIPT") is"OK" then
    return yes
  end if
on error
  return no
end try
