36/** An extension of the JDialog that overrides the JVM's typical modal behaviour. This typical behaviour is that when a modal dialog is opened, all other windows cease to respond to user events until the modal dialog is disposed. However this prevents us opening the help documents property whenever a modal dialog is open. Thus we override the modal behaviour so that only the owner frame or dialog is blocked.
37 * Note that because we always call the super constructor with modal set to false, this should be made visible with setVisible(true) rather than show() which will return straight away. */
