Bert:

I have that code working in my TEG.

Perhaps we have different opinion of what is a Dialog.

 FillInTheMorph  is the example what I point (and have this code too).

For me, a Dialog is a window what stay in place , with buttons, pictures,
text, etc, and what stay in place until you click on a special place.
I glad to read your concept.

Cheers.
