I wasn't being sarcastic. I was just trying to explain the likely rational for the bevaviour of the API. I suspect that back in the NeXTStep days it actually did centre it. But when NeXTStep merged with Mac OS, the behaviour was changed to match the Mac OS behaviour. In Classic Mac OS this position is called the 'alert position'. See for example the docs for the kWindowAlertPositionMainScreen constant, and contrast with kWindowCenterMainScreen. -- ____________________________________________________________ Sean McBride, B.
