You can disable all other forms with the fl_deactivate_forms() call
then show the form.
Then you can use the standard callback mechanisms for the form which
you have just shown.
If you feel it necessary, you can call fl_do_forms() from within the
code for your special form -- there's no prohibition from doing so.
In fact, as I have mentioned before, most of the Goodies do this, to
the best of my knowledge.

I'm not sure what this is intended to mean but I'm not convinced that
this is necessarily a Bad Thing. Sometimes things must be done
sequentially in this manner. I often pop a dialog box or some sort of
other form and disable interaction with the rest of the forms.
