Thanks for your suggestions, I don't like exceptions to much, at least 
not in this case,
and the second solution meant a major refactoring, which I do not
want to pursue at the moment.

And I came to the conclusion, that the only modal dialogs / menus, we 
should be
able to skip automatically, are the ones which only _inform_ the user,
in other words, only have one entry, like "ok", or "proceed" etc.

I was looking for a good location to store the fact, whether one wants 
to
skip this kind of modal info-boxes automatically and decided to store 
that
as a preference.

I also changed

PopupMenu >> startUpWithCaption: captionOrNil at: location 
allowKeyboard: aBoolean
See also my other mails ([ENH] and [TEST])

This seemed to me to be the simplest thing to do at the moment, but I am
certainly open for other suggestions.

Cheers,

Markus
