Hi Louis,
I see... Thanks for the good explanation and sample code.

Umm... Okay, let me try one more time. ;-)
Is it necessary to open two windows at once?
If not, how about the following?
class Sample < Shoes
$a = 'nothing'
url '/', :index
url '/main', :main
def index
para "What would you like?"
button('yes'){$a = "YES"; clear; main}
button('no'){$a = "NO"; clear; main}
end
def main
button("what?") {alert("You choosed #{$a}")}
end
end
Shoes.app :width => 200, :height => 120
Hope I've not misunderstood, :-P
