The old Macintosh OSs kept that strict modality for far longer than necessary, well into the time they had something that passed for multitasking. Perhaps a more programmer-centric explanation is that if the dialogue is fully modal, you won't have to strongly associate it with the window it refers to. The user can't accidentally lose a modal behind its own window as the user is forced to interact with it. I have no idea why anyone would want that either. The only modals I like are the Holy Modal Rounders, but they're an acquired taste. Stewart > >
