	I hacked this together a while ago.  Basically  we do the same thing.
You take over the event loop and continue reading events, passing on events that
occur within the dialog box, until some state has changed.  I use a ButtonState,
but obviously other answers exist. 

	Of course this is unique to the application, I can't grab events from
other apps.  I guess what I would have really liked is a way to inform the
world that such and such an interactor wants to grab focus and have the
world take care of it. 

	If you get any interesting responses to this would you mind passing
them on to me?
