  modal
       
          1. (Of an interface) Having modes.  Modeless interfaces are
          generally considered to be superior because the user does not
          have to remember which mode he is in.
       
          2. See modal logic.
       
          3. In MS Windows programming, A window with the label
          "WS_MODAL" will stay on the screen and claim all the
          user-input.  Other windows can only be accessed if the MODAL
          window is closed.  Such a window would typically be used for
          an error dialog box to warn the user for something
          important, like "Critical error, shut down the system and
          restart".
