Even if a lightpen is available for Suns, my experience says don't use one
unless your monitors are mounted in a desktop facing upward.  Otherwise,
after just one week of holding up the light pens, your users will need to
buy new shirts to accommodate their enlarged shoulders.  Tablet, mouse,
trackball, head-up controller, or even a touch screen are friendlier.
