   I have a program in which one of the dialogue boxes are handled
without using  form_do(). Yes, form_do() is the easiest way to
handle dialogue boxes but I am doing some trickier things than
what form_do() can handle.

Problem -   If I depress the mouse button outside the dialogue box
which is being handled without form_do() and atop the slider bars,
or GEM dropdowns (anything GEM itself is taking care of through
evnt_messages), it locks up the program completely; only the mouse
can move yet do nothing.

Ques. -How is it I can disable GEM so that this will be prevented
while I am using this dialogue box?


Thanks,
