I had the same discussion some time ago offlist with Scott Raney citing
the same passages. This is really misleading, but there are hints
constructing customized dialogs - maybe incomplete - under the item
"modal".
As I meanwhile make frequent use of such customized stacks ( that have
similar functions like the ask and answer dialogs) I could send you
samples offlist.
