Filling dialog edit boxes with aliases

Which would be the best way to fill edit boxes?

Code:

edit $hget(WhatScript.settings,username), 10, 55 30 80 10, tab1 autohs

This is what I would like to use but it doesn't seem to work, because of the comma I'm assuming. So that leaves a couple of options. I could escape the comma like this in the dialog table itself:

Code:

edit $hget(WhatScript.settings [ $chr(44) ] username), 10, 55 30 80 10, tab1 autohs

Create a custom alias so no comma is needed:

Code:

alias -l setting return $hget(WhatScript.settings,$1)

edit $setting(username), 10, 55 30 80 10, tab1 autohs

Or I could fill it with the did command.

Code:

did -a $dname 10 $hget(WhatScript.settings,username)
