Jacqueline,

The stack "main" is a lengthy report that the user fills out.  I open
a modal dialog when I have them type a narrative response (there are
many tools and other options that are available to the user when
typing a narrative - libraries of pre written texts, custom
narratives they can save, and on and on...).  I need the user to
finish editing this text before doing something else.  That's why I
am using a modal dialog.  This model has been working great for
years!  However, not I have a user who want to scroll "main" to
review previous responses while typing the narrative.  Does that
makes sense?

Yes, that's an appropriate use, sounds like. Unfortunately I don't think the scroll will work with it. The only other alternative I can think of is a new interface, which is probably more than you want to do.
