This is what I did: Over-rode the okPressed method in the dialog to save
the value to another string variable, and then used a getter method on
this new variable to retrieve the value once the dialog is closed.

The Text object is a control--a little window owned by the operating
system. When the dialog is closed it and all of its children, including
the Text object, are disposed. That is the underlying window created by
the operating system is destroyed. Once the window is gone there's no
way to ask "what did the user type into it", because it's gone.
A String is just a Java object (a sequence of characters). There's no
corresponding operating system object and you never dispose() of a
string. It will remain valid for as long as you have a reference to it
(i.e. some way to access it).
Overriding okPressed lets you copy the contents of the Text object to
the String just before the dialog closes, so from an object that is just
about to be destroyed to one that will last indefinitely.
The names are close enough (String, Text) to be confusing but they're
completely different sorts of objects.
