A palindrome is a number or a text phrase that reads the same backwards as forwards.  For example, each of the following five-digit integers are palindromes: 12321, 55555, 45554, and 11611.  Write an application that reads in a five-digit integer and determines whether it is a palindrome.  If the number is not five digits, display an error message dialog indicating the problem to the user.  When the user dismisses the error dialog, allow the user to enter a new value.
