i think max should have a [dialog]-like object, but without text field, just to display some text as a modal window.

what about this mac only example with shell:

forgot whom to credit for this, it is from this forum

nice one ! too bad it's mac only and require an external object...

I agree that there should be a built-in cross-platform object/way of doing this. I've used the [aalert] object for it previously, but it's also only for OSX.

I generally relax my requirements for it being truly modal, and just build a fake dialog in Max.

what do you guys mean by "modal"? just curious

I don't know; I glossed over that bit :p

Same for me. In case it may be usefull to someone, here is attached the small abstraction I built for that (see the "confirmDialog.maxhelp").

Please post it back here if you improve it.
