The easiest way to do this is to have ALL of your pages be pop-up pages.

What's happening is that the pop up page CANNOT appear on top of the current page. (That's why it shows up when you nagivate to it, but not when you use SHOW_PAGE.)

Our Forms 3 applications generally have anywhere from 4 to 9 pages on screen at any one time, overlaid one on top of another or taking up different parts of the screen. Generally each block gets one or more pages, depending on the particular applicaion. Unless the block has borders on it (for alerts and such), this is invisible to the user.
