	Typically (Well... M$ Windows world), "message boxes" are /modal/ --
the first message box to display takes over (or blocks other) event
processing until the user has acknowledged the displayed message box.

	Generic "dialog boxes" tend to be /non-modal/ -- they allow the rest of
the application to operate in parallel.

	So -- you may be looking at coding up full dialog boxes instead of
using convenience message boxes. That also means all the overhead of event
handling for the dialog (where a message box directly returns the status)
