Yup... I miss the point you are trying to make. By all means spell it out. I
see you calling a print dialog from a program but have no clue what value
you think it might have, unless you are trying to incorrectly show that
calling a print dialog from the File > Print menu in a program is going
outside the program in the same way as clicking on the desktop.

If that is the point you are making you are being silly... but if there is a
real point I am missing by all means state it. Open to hearing your
thoughts.
