Oh, very cool answer.  Nice logic.  So when you do OK, or Cancel the Box 
is not deleted.

I'm never quite sure when you need to delete it or not.

But when you leave scope, I guess it must be destroyed then?

Like this:

sub dosomething {
     $dialog = Wx::TextEntryDialog->new( $panel, 'Please Enter Text', 
'Dialog Header', "", wxOK|wxCANCEL, wxDefaultPosition );
     $dialog->Show(1);
     return;
}

Does it not get destroyed after "return"?

What difference does Show and ShowModal make?

Steve.
