Dialogs are special in that they receive messages and can be moved and
closed. . . Modal are a little more special in that they have more of a
"presence" -- I wonder if you can't simulate the modal dialog by use of
something like a thread. Can we do threads in Euphoria, or simulate them ?
Something along the lines of thread priority could be used, if threads could
be simulated. If you can block MESSAGES to everything else. . . that
might do it? Maybe??
