Tim,

No worries about the spelling of my name. ;-)

Thank you very much for your explanations. Once you are experienced
enough, you can value the beauty and FLEXibility of a software
development concept/tool. I'm still at the beginning of my learning
curve, and sometimes the complexity of Flex/Cairngorm overwhelmes me. 

In the past, when I developed smaller apps with Flash/AS2 I very often
found myself in a dead-end situation when clients asked for additional
features, etc. I'm familiar with some basic design patterns but I've
always missed a consistent framework for AS2. 

Cairngorm was really an eye-opener for me because now I have the
feeling that there's a powerful concept that helps me to develop
scalable applications. Since the use of popup windows is quite common,
I expected something like a "standard procedure" for Flex/Cairngorm.
I'm afraid to find myself in a dead-end situation again if I do it
"the wrong way". 

The Command/ModelLocator approach you described sounds logical to me -
although at first sight it seems to overcomplicate the rather simple
task of updating "model.selectedUser" and opening a popup window. But
I guess it will make the application more consistent once it grows and
more and more functionality is added.

Thanks again.

Stefan
