You are right that MultiFinder defines a modal dialog according to the
window kind, and not as aresult of a call to ModalDialog. (Also, not that
it doesn't matter if you are using a custom window defproc, if the kind is
the same it is also considered modal.)
Background application *DO* get time when a modal dialog is up, provided the
foreground application yields the CPU.
