It wasn't quite that bad. Basic alert dialogs were fully handled by Alert(); event loops for more complex dialogs were implemented by ModalDialog(). Anything non-modal could certainly get hairy, though.

- nemo44x 3y ago172 pages for dialog’s lol. Thank god for ResEdit! You’re right though. If I recall because of the single thread certain built-in popups could more or less block. BUT - perhaps you wanted something a bit more tricky. Well, now you’re back in it! :) I always liked that exitToShell() took you to a GUI.
