Message-ID: <5389@nigel.udel.EDU> Date: 6 Dec 89 01:29:05 GMT Sender: mmdf@udel.EDU Lines: 19 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. /// /// acm131@eric.ccs.northeastern.edu \\\/// \XX/ "Hey OS/2, wanna race??"
