Oh, dear.
We have a story about a West Virginia farmer, when
he is asked for directions, replies: "Well, it's
just over yonder, but I reckon you can't get there
from here."
I'm afraid that's where you are. :-(
There is quite a bit wrong with your little example
program that removing the Common blocks would only
just start to fix. Normally I don't (well, at least
not so blatantly) recommend my IDL Programming Techniques
book, but you need it badly. The last two chapters talk
about building modal widget dialogs. This is what you
need to know how to do. It is quite a bit more than
I can explain here.
If money is a problem, I usually have some slightly
rumpled or marked books that I use in classes that I
could let you have on the cheap. :-)
Cheers,
David
