The problem is that you need a small delay between selecting the ability and opening the dialogue window, otherwise it instantly CTDs. Here is a snippet of code from one of my pet projects.

function CommandConsole_1(x, y, z, ship, duration)
	setglobal("x", x);
	setglobal("y", y);
	setglobal("z", z);
	setglobal("ship", ship);
	Timer_Seq(0.1, SummonConsole);
end;

function SummonConsole()
	StartTradeDialog("DialogNC","SummonConsole_Init");
end;
