I also mentioned a workaround in v7n78, which I learned about because I
read the manual (SunView 1 Beginner's Guide, 9.9 Alert Button
Accelerators) To repeat:
Unfortunately, there is a known bug with color monitors. If you move the
cursor outside of the alert box, it disappears, and you may not be able to
find it again. There is a work-around, using the keyboard equivalents:
Return will select the button marked with the darker outline, Stop (L1)
will cancel the alert.
