Ok I have it working now but I'd like to pursue your point. Are you
saying that it is better to avoid "dialogs in general" or just the "modal
type" that halt instructions until input.
Or, is it that programs should not have any interruptions, from real work,
at all.
Could you explain this philosophy re this point? I would like to keep
my program in line with the Palm philosophy.
Thanks
