Are we talking about Ad Lib, or ViewEdit 3.0? Nota bene, MacApp 3.0.1 won't

add in any TDialogBehaviors when creating TDialowViews inside the window.
This is documented in MacApp 3.0.1 Bug Doc (the non Doc Viewer document). 
The workaround is (for the N time):
----
 1. Problem with displaying dialogs, especially if created
  with ViewEdit.
  
  A drawback in ViewEdit 3.0.1 is that it does not provide
  for behaviors and TDialogBehaviors in particular to be
  specified. A work around for TDialogBehaviors is to fix
  the bug in TWindow::PoseModally() that causes what would
  otherwise be the automagic creation of the
  TDialogBehavior not to take effect. If the following
  lines in PoseModally
  
        TDialogBehavior* itsDialogBehavior = this-
  >GetDialogBehavior();
        IDType result = kNoIdentifier;
        this->Open();
        this->Select();
  
  are changed to
  
        TDialogBehavior* itsDialogBehavior;
        IDType result = kNoIdentifier;
        this->Open();
        this->Select();
        itsDialogBehavior = this->GetDialogBehavior();
  
  then the automagically created behavior is correctly
  assigned to the window and functions correctly.
  
  Alternate  ways that you can get a behavior into a view
  resource are to
  - DeRez an existing view or create the view with Rez
  initially; then specify a dialog behavior in the Rez text
  format; then re-Rez, or
  - create your TDialogBehavior or entire dialog
  procedurally.
