> Modal Dialog Recording

  There are site which oftentimes require interaction with external
  windows such as desktop applications and modal dialogs. These
  particular type of windows are not normally recorded. Since the
  interaction between these objects are critical to the success of the
  script, we employ several methods of being able to record from these
  windows.

  Since we know that desktop windows can recorded through the
  desktop mode recording and extended use of application mode. We can also
  record interaction with modal dialogs BUT it will significantly
  increase the size of your script when using these commands.-- The
  shorter the script, the better.

  To record modal dialog interaction:

  (1) Navigate to a site which has modal dialogs.

  (2) In the script dialog box, click on "Insert > Modal Dialog Commands"

  (3) Select the appropriate command according to the desired outcome
      from the Modal window.

  (4) Once you have inserted the commands, a commented line is also
      inserted prior to the command which basically gives a brief
      description of each command inserted.

  (5) Play-back your script to check if the inserted commands perform
      the desired interaction between the dialog box.
