What is the way, under AmigaDOS, to put up a dialogue box which prompts the
user for information, and disallows context switches, opening new windows,
pulling down other screens, etc.  Will doing a forbid() be good enough, or
is there more to it?  Basically, I want Amy to STOP EVERYTHING until I get
the information.  (or the user cancels out of the dialogue box)  Yes, I
realise it's a pain, but I want to eliminate unpredictable states.  It
seems to me there mucst be a way, because I see other software doing it.

Using Lattice C, if possible.


					Thanks,
						Craig.
