I think I've seen a XCMD for this somewhere, BUT:

1. Do you understand that this is strongly against the Macintosh user
   interface guidelines?  The mouse (and the cursor) belongs to the user.

2. Let's assume you had a MoveMouse XCMD: how do you get the coordinates
   of the "Cancel"-button? Are you sure it will always be at the same place?

3. The Mac dialogbox often has a "default button": it's usually in the
   lower right bottom. The user could activate this button by pressing
   return or enterkey. On Sunview they have choosen another approach:
   they move the cursor. As you work on a Mac and not a Sun: please
   conform to the Mac interface rules.
