[comp.sys.mac.programmer] multiple dialogs as app windows?

	Since I am a relative newcomer to Mac programming, can anyone tell me
about using multiple modeless dialogs? Is it OK to do this? If so, can someone
give me some skeleton code for the main event loop, like how should calls to
IsDialogEvent and DialogSelect be sandwiched in amongst handling of other
events? In conjunction with this, after reading IM-I and UMPG, I am still
unclear as to what needs to be called in what order to initialize and display a
dialog window. For example, I have seen code that works which never calls
DrawDialog or DrawControls, but I don't get dialog contents drawn in my stuff
unless I do call these. Any example code of multiple modeless dialogs (if this
is indeed legal) would be greatly appreciated. Tnx...
