If not, let's make it an error. Not only is it not useful, but it is unfriendly to the user. An alternative to making it an error could be to automatically add an "OK" button to such dialogs (in case any lisp program currently out there uses buttonless dialogs to give informational messages). ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread

If programs did this intentionally, that means it must be useful for something. If people can show me a case where it is useful, that will convince me it should not be an error. If it is never useful, then any programs that did it in the past must have done it by mistake. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
