I have changed the mechanic of the dialog boxes created by the interpreter to not allow "Esc" or "X" closing. You must acknowledge the dialog using one of the buttons. This can still be done with the keyboard and it provides the interpreter with information it needs to continue.

I beg you... don't do this. Conventions, not matter how annoying for the developer, as long as they are recognised as universal conventions, must be respected. "Esc" to close a modal dialog box is even today (I may say: especially today, after 30+ years of history of UX) a must.

Apart from Stefano's comment on the behavior of dialog boxes I can see that on the nix version RIDE receives an OptionsDialog event with the message above. This event is missing in the win version.
