Is it possible to use a modeless dialog via AS? I want to present a dialog:
display dialog "Press Cancel to stop" buttons {"Cancel"} default button 1
then repeatedly perform an action while the dialog is present.
How do I get the script to move beyond the dialog and run a repeat of idle task or something, while waiting for the cancel button to be pressed?

You can certainly do this with ASStudio, and I think you can do it with DD, but I've always ended up in 'vanilla' AS with a

  display dialog "Cancel?" ... giving up after 2

strategy (giving them a window of opportunity). Of course.... it also slows the app down.
