I tried drupal_get_form first, with the same result, or lack thereof. 
Here's what I'm doing. I have a form that displays as a result of a 
callback from an admin menu entry. The form uploads and processes a csv 
file. In the submit function of that form, if the validate function 
reports that it's unclear from the csv layout which columns are to be 
used, I need another form presented from which the user selects the 
appropriate columns. So, at that point I want to display another form, 
so I called drupal_get_form, which does create the form, but never shows 
it. Perhaps it's because I'm still in the submit function of the prior 
form...but I was thinking that I need to do the second form before 
completely returning from the callback that launched the first one.
