I am trying to use secondary views to retrieve user input. Is there a
better way to do this than the way I am trying below. Simply, a main view
window launches two separate view windows to retrieve user input. However,
the two sub views return immediately and don't wait for user input. I've
tried adding the 'do-event word after the 'layout of get-input but it only
allows the retrieval of the first variable (this snippet isn't working
perfectly either as it isn't returning the first variable). Anyway, any
help/alternative approaches is appreciated.
