 Thank you Jan.

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 &#147;topLevel&#148;, 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 &#147;Some Stack&#148; is
set to &#147;palette&#148;, it opens as a palette
rather than a modeless dialog box, ignoring the mode
you specified.
As if I didn't have enough troubles learning transcript without it 
ignoring me. :-)
I think I'll ignore it for the rest of the day and watch some  Wimbledon.

Hope this helped,
