Since it's modal, the window is blocking and has to close before anything can be done at all outside the modal. The only thing that springs to mind is you trap cmd.period in the modal itself.
2p /H From: Richard Gaskin <ambassa...@fourthworld.com> Subject: ask/answer annoyance, It's bugged me for years that we can't exit a loop if we have an answer or ask dialog in it. In HC and SC you just type command-"." and it exits to top, but in MC/Rev it just stays in the loop, requiring you to either keep hitting "OK" a thousand times or force-quitting. Arg. I've tried modifying my answer dialog, and even tried using a frontScript, but it appears that trying to use "exit to top" for the dialog doesn't really exit to top if it's being called from a loop; it just keeps being called. Am I missing something, or is this an engine bug? _______________________________________________ metacard mailing list metacard@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
