You are correct that there is no such dialog service that allows one or two
input fields, and there should be one. The implementation for the existing
dialog services is located in:

  freeride/plugins/rubyide_fox_gui/fox_services.rb

You could copy one of the existing services and modify it to create a new
dialog service that does what you want. Once you got it working you could
post your code here and Laurent or I add it to fox_services.rb module in our
cvs repo.
