I am in the same point as in the beginning: it seems to be
impossible to use modify file/modify memo command in modeless form:

If I activate another window and click in the modi file window,
its form will not become active! _screen.activeform is not an object
and form's activate will not run, so I cannot enable toolbar
buttons etc. correctly.
