| Platform Notes |
This verb is only implemented in the Mac OS version of Frontier.
|
| Notes |
This is an advanced Frontier verb of primary interest to implementers and advanced scripters. It is not necessary to understand it to use Frontier effectively for most tasks. This verb only works if there's a dialog box displayed. Thus it is valid only when called from a script that is an itemhit handler, whose address was passed to dialog.run or dialog.runModeless.
