MegaDial: Confusing Dialog Message (4/97)

While performing the initial configuration of MegaDial on a Macintosh Performa 6360 and a 6400, I finished configuring the "first startup" information and received a confusing dialog. The dialog stated:

"Thank you for continuing. To resume MegaPhone, click Exit.

Otherwise, click Continue. When you have finished, close the MegaDial window."

What should I do?

There are two points of contention with this dialog:

1) MegaDial can be invoked without opening MegaPhone first. So the comment about "resuming MegaPhone" can be confusing.

2) There is only one button, the OK button. There is no Exit or Continue button. Just click OK.

The issue has been reported to the manufacturer as a cosmetic bug. It will not affect the operation of MegaDial.
