I agree, which is why it took me so much time to understand how the modal system
all works in view.
but when you open any of the requesters (inform), it calls a new 'do-events (
wait [] )... simply because you don't want it to return right away...
the wake-event will return false whenever hide-popup is called. This ends one
of the concurrents do-event wait []...
I also, just today, realised that the 'view word is not a native!
anyways, I managed to patch the popup system so that resizable modal requesters
are now possible...
vid, view and face are so open, its nice to be able to fix/enhance things
ourselves. !
