Hi Michael,
To do this, I created a unit which showed a form, and maintained its own
Event Loop.
The function I called returned the button pressed, I gave it information
regarding the text to display, the captions for the buttons etc etc etc.
Because the function handled the events, it only returned when it was
complete, making use very easy.
