You can use SHOW-POPUP directly.
>> source inform
inform: func [
{Display an exclusive focus panel for alerts, dialogs, and requestors.}
panel [object!]
/offset where [pair!] "Offset of panel"
/title ttl [string!] "Dialog window title"
/timeout time
][
panel/text: copy any [ttl "Dialog"]
panel/offset: either offset [where] [system/view/screen-face/size -
panel/size / 2]
panel/feel: system/view/window-feel
show-popup panel
either time [if none? wait time [hide-popup/timeout]] [do-events]
]
Basically you don't want the WAIT (DO-EVENTS is WAIT []) in the
last line.
Regards,
Gabriele.
