If you can deal with the result popping up in the message box, you'll
get what you want (I think, if I understand it) by simply typint "xy"
in the message box.  This is a cute little script that hides in the
Home Stack, along with some other ("s" and "c", in particular).

Actually, there's all kinds of fun stuff in the Claris-distributed
stacks that's worth looking at.
