Thanks.
Ok, I have found a work around for IupMessageAlarm, by creating a "parent"
dialog in iup whose parent is the main application.
However I can not work out how to access the iup dialog name to use in
SetAttribute which wants a string.
If I use an IUP dialog as the parent for iup.Getparam() how do I get the
name to use in
iup.SetAttribute("PARENTDIALOG",h)
so iup.GetParam can be a child of the "parent" sub window.
