Modifying the dialog to trap cmd-. is doable. However, the problem is
how to pass that cmd-. further -- as Richard explained, the exit to
top does not work as expected, that is the script exists to top
within the dialog stack while the calling script continues.
I wonder whether it is possibly to send cmd-. (in time) while closing
the dialog. It should either carry over to the loop below or
auto-cancel the next dialog popping up.
A workabout I use is to have a cancel button in such a dialog and
check for cancel in the looping script.
