How do modal dialog stacks interfere with main stack?

its' a fantastic way to manage DLOG
You can place in the dialogData just anything you want

in your script before calling the Modal stack :

set the dialogDat to xx&","&yy --and so on
go to stack "MyDLOG"

on the preopenstack of the DLOG stack

put item 1 of the dialogData into fld a of stack "MyDLOG"
put item 1 of the dialogData into fld b of stack "MyDLOG"

--so you can pre-fill some flds in your DLOG stack


in the cancel btn of your DLOG stack :
set the DialogData to empty

in the OK btn of your DLOG stack :
set the DialogData to fld aa&","&fld bb --and so on


in the script which calls the DLOG you go further
if the dialogsata = empty then -- the user clicked cancel
exit to top
end if
put item 1 of the dialogData into varOne
put item 2 of the dialogData into varTwo

--and so on
