This allows me to stop InDesign from receiving user input (and messing up the document) while at the same time allowing me to bring other applications to front, where the users can do what is required.

Let me make sure I understand: The script tells InDesign to display a modal dialog to prevent the user from interacting with InDesign? Which application is running the script?


Other examples are some stay-open applications with idle handlers I wrote, where they bring up time-out dialogs for the user to respond to ...

In those cases, the the dialog is displayed within the application running the script?
