I believe you. I needed it for The Big Project, which already has a suspendStack handler, and I was trying to integrate your part. There's a backscript too with a few thousand lines of code that traps most system messages. I never bothered to figure out why it didn't work, I just plugged in my custom handler because it doesn't rely on any system messages.

Your way is cleaner but I needed a hack.

If you haven't already, try the script in an empty stack -- should work as

get curses, plagues, and the occasional hex).

I should have clarified that I listed two scripts: one for answer, one

Win,

new, empty stack?

Something like this would be better to be all-inclusive:

on suspendStack
     put the openStacks into theList
     if "answer dialog" is among the lines of theList then set the loc of
stack "answer dialog" to loc of me
     if "ask dialog" is among the lines of theList then set the loc of
stack
"ask dialog" to loc of me
end suspendStack

I needed this once, and tried this suggestion but I couldn't get it to
work either. I'm not sure why. I settled on this hack:

on answerWithLoc pString,pBtn1,pBtn2
   set the vis of stack "answer dialog" to false
   answer pString with pBtn1 and pBtn2
   set the loc of stack "answer dialog" to the loc of this stack
   set the vis of stack "answer dialog" to true
end answerWithLoc
