No, you're right there. But I can have a modal form in _SCREEN of any size I like. In my app the top level form is quite tiny. It monitors phone calls etc. and always sits in the users desktop. If I want to interact with the user subsequently I've been using more top level forms. But sometimes, I believe quite rightly, I need a modal form which the user must fill in and answer OK/Cancel. This form is bigger than the top level form. So how do I do it?
