Hi Jim, It's not abnormal if you track down how that popup menu actually works : it executes a 'toplevel' command (or 'modal' or 'modeless' or 'palette') >From the Transcript dictionary entry for 'go' : ---- Important! The style of the stack, if it is anything other than “topLevel”, overrides any mode you specify in a go command. For example, if you open a stack using the statement go stack "Some Stack" as modeless, and the style of “Some Stack” is set to “palette”, it opens as a palette rather than a modeless dialog box, ignoring the mode you specified. ---- Hope this helped, Jan Schenkel. ===== "As we grow older, we grow both wiser and more foolish at the same time."
