Update a global when going to a stack as modal

[Thierry Arbellot]

Mark,

I'm doing the same thing as you are, and it does work fine (Rev 2.1, 
MacOS X, Win2K)

I use a global to return a value when the modal is closed.

a suggestion:
replace line 3 with answer gFoo
The answer dialog should appear only after the modal is closed.

Hope it helps.

Thierry.
