The point of a sheet is to be window-modal with respect to just one window,
leaving the rest of the app non-modal. But if you have put up a modal
window, your app has already gone modal. The window already has the user's
undivided attention, and the user cannot get away from it! So the sheet is
pointless. You have various alternatives:
* Just put up a modal window in front of your modal window. Then your app
will be just like FileMaker, or Microsoft Word, with their endless
infuriating cascades of modal windows within modal windows, and your users
will despise you. :)
* Replace the content of your modal window with some different content.
* Replace your modal window itself with a different modal window. m.
