How to tell if a modal dialog is open?

[Peter T. Evensen]

Hi, Jacque.

I was really after a method to tell if any (unknown) modal stack is 
open.  topStack gives the top-most editable stack.  I was wondering if 
there was a way to tell if a modal dialog was being displayed.

I figured out a way to do what I was trying to do (suspend and resume 
messages when a dialog comes up), so the question is more of an academic 
one right now.
