Well, that doesn't make it right. (It's kind of a lazy way of doing a sheet,
since instead of using a delegate message when the sheet closes, you just
pause the code and pick up again in the same method after it closes.)

And you would notice a difference if there were more than one window.

You might also notice a difference in the behavior of your menus (menus
behave differently in an app-modal dialog, IIRC, though don't ask me for
details as I've forgotten).
