Bernie,

I'm sure that Razzak will say that v7 solves the problem but one of the
things that I have been unable to overcome in v6.5++ is getting the [Okay]
button (or its equivalent) in the same place so that the user can click
through a number of pauses or dialogs without moving the mouse each time.

This is mainly caused by the button(s) being automatically "centered"
depending on the width of the box which is, usually, determined by the
length of the text.

I set up 3 variables which gives me the top left hand corner in the same
place each time:

SET VAR vMenu_Pos     = 'AT 5 5'
SET VAR vDialog_Pos   = 'AT 6 6'
SET VAR vPause_Pos    = 'AT 6 6'

Why the choose (menu) command needs to be different I don't know but this
seems to give me some sort of consistency - and I can change the position(s)
throughout the app with ease.

Regards,
Alastair.
