Page Spawning - Prompting For Number Of Pages

Question

I asked a similar question a few years back and at the time, the project went by the wayside.  Well, the project is back on track and now I'm in a jam and need to use some javascript for some easy automation.  Here's the situation.  I have a form with a hidden button that allows persons who know where the button is, to spawn the current semplate into additional pages, while renaming the approzimately 400+ form fields on each page.  As it currently stands, the user needs to click the hidden button each time to spawn a new page.  This is kind of cumbersome considering, I need to generate approximately 200 pages at a time.  Here is the current code (culled from any of a number of web pages) that works for the single click page addition:
// Get a template object from an existing template
var t = getTemplate("temp1");
// Spawn the template on the page following this one, and rename the fields
t.spawn({nPage: pageNum + 1, bRename: true, bOverlay: false});
What I'd like to do is have the button "click" (mouse up) produce a dialog box that asks the user to input the number of pages needed to be spawned.  I'm not concerned about page numbering as I have a separate means for doing that, once all the pages have been spawned.  Clearly, I am not a javascript programmer, so, if someone is willing to help, it's going to have to be usable code that will require only minor tinkering, if any.  Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I'm using Acrobat Pro X.  There was an MVP named George Johnson who tried to help me back them, but quite honestly, Is imply didn't know how to tie it all together.  He suggested using the following code in generating the dialog box (obviously, text is not geared toward my document).  Can someone show me how to tie all of this together?
var cResponse = app.response({
           cQuestion: "How are you today?",
               cTitle: "Your Health Status",
               cDefault: "Fine",
               cLabel: "Response:"
if (cResponse == null)
           app.alert("Thanks for trying anyway.");
else
           app.alert("You responded, \""+cResponse+"\", to the health "
                     + "question.",3);
Thank you in advance,
Randy

Greetings George!
A while back, you assisted me with the following code (see below), which was used to spawn a multi-page document.  By the way, the code was just what the doctor ordered, thank you!  I am now faced with another issue while spawning this document.  I have one field (show_num) which I need to prevent from renaming, when the document is spawned.  All other fields, rename perfectly, as desired.  I now will be utilizing this show_num field, which was previously just a place holder and not used.  Is there a way to have the field remain the same name as the pages are spawned?  In other words, I'm looking to have the user type a "show number" on the first page and have it immediately populate in the same field on all pages (i.e. 1026-022).  This number would then populate on all pages in the "show_num" field.  Here's the code I'm using to spawn the pages:
var resp = app.response({
    cQuestion: "How many pages to you want to add?",
    cTitle: "Enter number of pages to add",
    cDefault: "1",
    cLabel: "Pages:"
// Get a reference to the template to spawn
var t = getTemplate("temp1");
// Only proceed if user enteres a value,
// that can be converted to a number,
// and the number is at least 1 and no more than 600
if (resp && !isNaN(+resp) && +resp >= 1 && +resp <= 600) {
    // Round number of pages to nearest integer
    var num = Math.round(+resp);
    // Spawn the specified number of pages
for (var i = 0; i < num; i += 1) {
    if (i === 0) {
        var oXO = t.spawn({nPage: numPages, bRename: true, bOverlay: false});
    } else {
        t.spawn({nPage: numPages, bRename: true, bOverlay: false, oXObject: oXO});
    // Delete the button
    removeField("P" + (numPages - 1) + ".temp1.spawnPage");
} else {
    app.alert("You entered an invalid number: " + resp);
