Hi All;

Is there a way to move the dialog/alert/file windows. I seem to rember
that there are some keyboard combinations to control the control
buttons ...etc..., so is there a way to move these windows.

The reason is, I have a Powerbook 1400cs and I have lent on the screen
to hard, so how there is a thin figure eight across the middle of the
screen. It makes selecting some bottom menu items hard and hard to
find the control buttons on these dialog/alert/file windows.

And before you say get the scrteen replaced, I got a quote of $900s,
for a new one.

So any help is welcomed, thank you for your time and effort.

Regards :           David. E. Goble

DragAnyWindow *might* do what you need. Its a control panel / extension
that does as the name implies. Check www.filez.com, www.shareware.com or
the ZDNet Mac file archive, you should be able to find a copy there.
