I would like to request some help for a sticky little problem I've run
into.

I would like to display an informational dialog box that contains
predefined static text items only.  While this box is on the screen, I want
to call a few procedures in my C program.  When the procedures finish, I
want the box to go away.  Sounds pretty simple.

I've tried doing this already, and I either get a nice informational dialog
box that stays on the screen, and doesn't perform the procedures, or I get
an empty dialog box (no static text items were drawn) and the procedures
execute and the box goes away.

Running a Mac SE, Think C 3.02, System 6.0.4.
Thnanks in advance.
