HI,

        I have a an audio plug-in, run inside a host application, that provides 
me a window in which my plug-in's UI is drawn.  What I would like to do is to 
make a modal window, but one that in ONLY modal in relation to my plug-in 
window.  Is that possible?  It's easy on Windows, but I don't see how to do 
that in Cocoa.  The docs talk about an "application modal" or a "modal 
session", but neither of those looks appropriate.  I don't want to prevent the 
user from accessing the host or OTHER plug-ins' windows, but I need to prevent 
them from accessing MY plug-in's window until they click Save or Cancel.  So 
application modal doesn't look right.  On the other hand, a modal session 
doesn't seem right, either, since I'm not in a loop doing any work at the time, 
just waiting for the user to set some plug-in preferences.  And I I don't see 
any way to make the orderingMode permanent, such as an "alwaysOnTop" flag or 
something.

Thanks,
        Howard
