I'll bet this has been asked before.  Is there any way to cause
HyperCard's modal dialogs to center themselves on the card window
rather than on the physical screen?  "Ask", "Answer", "Open",
"Save As", etc. center themselves on the screen, regardless of where on
the screen the card window is located.  However, such modal list boxes
as Dartmouth's XScrollBox and F. Rinaldi's ListSelect center
themselves on the card window, which seems preferable to me.
Actually, being able to decide seems preferable.  Thanks.
