Hey, about not moving modal dialogues.... That is probably the biggest headache I have with applications on the Mac. The interface and guidelines are mostly reasonable, but have you ever used a terminal window or been working on something and pulled down a menu which causes a modal dialogue to appear and wouldn't you guess it's in the middle of the screen... right on top of the information you need to fill in the modal dialogue. I see this with too many applications. Sure, I can use Resedit and move the window, "sometimes" ... it doesn't work for those apps that calculate the screen size... Anyway, If while in the dialogue, I can move the window to the side (my choosing) and optionally force it to appear there for the remainder of that invocation of the app, [whenever it's called, that is], I'd be estatic!!! -Carl -- Carl A Baltrunas 408/922-6206|SMTP:carl@doctor.TYMNET.COM,carl@tymix.tymnet.com BT Tymnet (Network Services) |UUCP: ...!{ames,pyramid}!oliveb!tymix!doctor!carl PO Box 49019, MS/C41 |PDP-10 support: 36-bits forever! well, awhile!
