Subject:  MapBasic - problems with Dialog Remove statement

I have a dialog that has several control buttons on it but no OKButton.  Each of
the buttons calls the same handler and the triggercontrol() function is used to
determine which button was pressed.  The problem is that I need to be able to
remove the dialog once a button has been selected.  I thought that the following
code would work:

Sub main
     dialog
          control button
               title "button1"
               id 1
               Calling handler
          control button
               title "button2"
               id 2
               Calling handler
End Sub

Sub handler

     Dialog Remove

     Do Case triggercontrol()

          Case 1
               call anotherRoutine
          Case 2
               call anotherRoutine
     End Case

End Sub


the dialog remove statement doesnt remove the dialog at all with the above code.
Yet if I take out the Do Case part it works fine!!....I can't quite understand
this.  Does anybody know if this is a bug?  or is it that I'm not supposed to be
using it in this way?

well any help would be good...

thanks

John
