Unfortunately, the current showInit convention only passes the X
coordinate from INIT to INIT. the Y coordinate comes from QuickDraw's
global variables. I thought it was too risky to try to patch QuickDraw to
lie to later INITs.
Some time ago, I posted the LSC source code and the HQX object code for an
INIT called "CR", the sole function of which is to carriage return the
INIT display. Just name it so it is alphabetically between the INITs you
want to CR, and it will start a new row, midway between the INITs of the
old row. Not an ideal solution, but a quick and easy one.
