You need to use IsDialogEvent/DialogSelect calls.  Your event loop should
look something like:

   if (GetNextEvent(everyEvent,& CurrEvent)) {
      if (IsDialogEvent(&CurrEvent)) {
	/* You may want to intercept some events here */
	if (DialogSelect(&CurrEvent, &theDialog, &itemHit)) {
	  /* Process the event/item that got hit */
	}
      } else {
	/* Handle non-dialog events */
      }
		
DialogSelect will process the update/activate events for you.

For more details, see IM vol.1, pages somewhere around 400,
if I remember correctly.
