Modal dialog not modal... any hints?

[Jacques Hausser]

Hi Tereza

I checked your handler in a stack "modaling" a substack "AskYesOrNo" with both RR 3.5 and 4, and both seem to work perfectly...
Do you have something else than filling fields with the custom properties and setting the dialogData in the scripts of "AskYesOrNo" ?

However, when I call this handler, it returns empty before it even displays the dialog. If I insert a "put" statement AFTER the "modal" statement, the putted text is visible in the message box while the dialog is on the screen, and statements in the caller of the YesOrNo function are executed before I exit the dialog.
