**Solved** Dialog not displaying

Sub Main()

    'initialize theme attributes like titles, logos and overhang color
    initTheme()

    'display a fake screen while the real one initializes. this screen
    'has to live for the duration of the whole app to prevent flashing
    'back to the roku home screen.
    screenFacade = CreateObject("roParagraphScreen")
    screenFacade.addParagraph("Please wait...")
    screenFacade.show()

    ' =========================
    ' GET SETTINGS FROM REGISTRY
    ' =========================
    targetAddress = RegRead("ip")
    targetPort = RegRead("port")
    targetUsername = RegRead("username")
    targetPassword = RegRead("password")
    
    If targetAddress = "" then
    
        showOKDialog("Notice","Due to Roku restrictions, only blah blah blah....") ' to fix later
           
    Else
    
        ' debug testing... why is this not displaying either
        showOKDialog("Test",targetAddress)
    
    End if

That is literally the only thing leading up to the sub for the dialog. The program displays fine ("Please wait...") but nothing else ever happens.

The RegRead and RegWrite are some simple ones that I found on the forum here that a lot of folks seem to be using.
