I tried posting this from one of our other machines, but I don't think
it made it out.  So, if this is something you've seen before, sorry...

I am trying to use a Modal Dialog Box within a DA, and trying to process
it using the ModalDialog toolbox call.  Unfortunately, this doesn't seem
to work very well, resulting in system crashes.  Has anyone done this 
successfully?  If so, I would
appreciate some pointers.

A brief skeleton of how I'm (unsuccessfully) trying to do it (in Aztec C)
is as follows:

	open()
	{
		.
		.
		DCEPtr->dCtlWindow = GetNewDialog(...);
		.
		.
	}

	control()
	{
		.
		.
		switch (event) {
		case accEvent:
			SelectWindow(DCEPtr->dCtlWindow);
			if (firsttimethrough) {
				ModalDialog(...);
			}
		.
		.
		.
	}

A code fragment from someone who has done this would be great.  Lacking that
however, good ideas are most welcome.

			Thanks,
