DIALOG SHOW MODELESS does not create a message loop. If you use MODELESS you have to "pump" messages "manually" every so often by using DIALOG DOEVENTS.
Your technique is perfectly valid when you're using the Windows API to create a dialog. I do it all the time... Create a basic window with a "loading" message, display it, use UpdateWindow, load some data, display it, etc. etc., then finally start the main message loop. But somebody from PowerBASIC will have to tell us whether or not it will interfere with the inner workings of DDT.
