I hadn't even noticed he was using tell the stage to close the 
miaw.  That's as bad as the original problem, because ultimately the stack 
must unwind back to somewhere (the original context) and in this case, the 
original context is the window you were killing, so if it's gone, then the 
whole thing's shot to heck.

It is only a problem in runtime (projector) Windows.  The Macs have a 
different window management, and in Director the way windows are managed 
are different too, so it's only Windows when run through a projector.
