There was an extensive discussion of this subject around 3/23/2001. Search
the Lingo-L archives for the phrase "closing miaw windows" (in the subject
line). The archives are at http://www.mail-archive.com/lingo-l@penworks.com/
The essence of the issue is that the stage must close the MIAW, not the
MIAW itself (although some members reported trouble-free operation with
"forget the activeWindow" in the MIAW itself).
It is important to realize that if a handler in the MIAW tells the stage to
forget the MIAW, that is not the same as the stage originating that
command, because execution still tries to return to the MIAW--and it's no
longer there, hence a crash. You'll know more when you read the archives.
The most elegant solution suggested at the time that I have adopted is to
have the MIAW start a timeout object in the stage, and have that timeout
object issue the forget command.
