I realize this is a little off the subject now, but here goes ...

I have just started programming the Mac (IIcx, Think Pascal 3.0), and like
the idea of using StopAlerts et al.  The problem is, I would also like to
be able to centre (or center --- when in Rome ...) these ``built-in''
alerts/dialogs.  Could some kind soul let me know if this is possible?
Should I just create my own resource and do it the ``long-hand'' way?  I
don't have MacApp, but I expect if it uses calls to StopAlert,
CautionAlert, etc. and these are able to be placed in the correct position
on the screen (as per the Human Interface guidelines), it would have been
done properly and in the neatest way possible.

Email replies if you like, or post too, I don't mind which!
