I'm having a terrible problem trying to implement modless dialog boxes in LSC on a MacII. I send a pointer to WindowRecord to the GetNewDialog command to avoid fragmenting the heap, but it bombs in many instances. There are two main modeless dialog boxes. One is very small, and the other is very large, containing over twenty buttons. If I call the small one first, and then the second, everything is fine. If however, I call the larger dialog box first, the system always crashes on error #1, which is supposed to be a bus error. Has anyone had any problems with modeless dialog boxes in LSC? If so, please share any advice you may have gained through experience. Thankyou in advance, (ARRRGHHHH SCREEEEEAAAAAAM) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Michael S.

A dialog has extra things beyond what a window does, you are thus trashing whatever comes after your WindowRecord. -- David W.
