This undocumented feature is especially useful for displaying a progress bar in a modal window.

Actually, Pete, you found the one way to create a *non-modal* modal... it's a way I've used many times to show a modal progress bar that does not block script execution: put "Before" go invisible stack "MyModal" as modal set visible of stack "MyModal" to true put "After" --> Puts "Before", opens the modal, then immediately puts "After" into the message box, and the modal is still open So perhaps it *would* work for you after all...
