> I have a program that has a modal form that calls other modal forms, one at a time. During one of these other modal form, that form calls a text file up in a window defined by "GROW FLOAT CLOSE NOMINIMIZE" and called with "MODIFY FILE ? NOMODIFY".
> The problem is that the user will sometimes, mostly by accident, click off the text file, causing it to close, but if the click was on one of the modal forms that is Not the current one up, the user will not be able to get back to the correct form and has to "kill" - task manager - the entire program.

Beth, this behaviour would be by design of what you have created. I think you would be better off creating your own form with an editbox on it which could expand to the size of the form. The editbox could optinally be read only and have scroll bars as appropiate. You would populate the editbox with STRTOFILE(). Then you could set it as modal as well which would keep it on top until closed.
