[REBOL] View / User prompt help!!!

From: bkalef:sympatico:ca at: 6-Mar-2002 12:47

I am trying to use secondary views to retrieve user input. Is there a better way to do this than the way I am trying below. Simply, a main view window launches two separate view windows to retrieve user input. However, the two sub views return immediately and don't wait for user input. I've tried adding the 'do-event word after the 'layout of get-input but it only allows the retrieval of the first variable (this snippet isn't working perfectly either as it isn't returning the first variable). Anyway, any help/alternative approaches is appreciated.
