Update a global when going to a stack as modal

Actually, that's exactly what Rev does. When you call "modal <stack>",
execution stops at that line until the modal dialog that was called is
closed. I'm pretty sure "open <stack> as modal" does the same as "modal
<stack>", but if it *is* different, try "modal <stack>" instead (that's
the one I'm used to).

The approach you described of calling two separate handlers would be the
way I would have done it in SuperCard; I'm glad Rev stops execution
until you return from a modal dialog. :-)
