you may try add closeok style to the parent form because it does not
require cleanup for this particular case.

   pc display closeok dialog;

In window it closes by pressing ESC, not sure if Mac also called it
ESC.

 sidx=. {. 2 4 5 6 2 {~ I. 99".> RBFORMAT wdget wd'qd'

That error occurs because wdq is assigned by wdhandler when some event
happened, but during startup there is not yet any event so wdq is not
defined (or may be it is from the previous run).  the wd'qd' command
is query parent form data.

I found that calling display '' will cause error as suggested by the
last line of the script, it is mandatory to supply some string to
display when calling .

I also suggest to force use graphic box drawing, otherwise the tree
format for tacit forms such as ++- will be difficult to read.

This is a nice exercise of gui programming.
