    I recently came across a shareware DA called "trojan menu" that
turns out to be very handy as a partial solution to this problem.  By
holding down a bunch of keys, an init that comes with this DA allows
you to get access to all the normal DAs even from within
a modal dialog.  When you're done, you can revert back to the modal
diaglog you were in before.
    Of course, you still need to use a "locator" DA.  Preferably one
that allows you to set the document type.
