Well, I've been using SunView on a 386i for the last month or so and have gotten
very used to the way that it relocates your pointer on top of the most safe
response in any dialog box. After you respond, you are put right back where you
were before the dialog box came up. It was very disconcerting in the beginning
but after a few days, it becomes second nature to not `run' to any dialog box
that pops up. (BTW, I use an SE mostly so that moving to any dialog box is not
much of a problem but on the Sun/Apollo/Mac with big screens, it is 
semi-annoying to have to literally go so far to respond to any dialog box.
