(I hope this gets out, but if it doesn't, you won't read it. [???])

I have seen several neat-o gizmoes for the Macintosh that allow trapping
into the MODAL_Dialog call, playing your favorite theme song, or what have
you, whenever an alert box is drawn on the screen.  Is their any way for a
mild-mannered Pascal/GFA programmer to trap into the ST's OS in a similar
manner, legally?  I know that there is a way to do that in your own dialogs,
but St Internals/GEM Reference have nothing on the topic.
