This was my finding as well. Unfortunate, since I'm sure such a thing is pretty easy to do. I really like Mondomouse. It's even better than Alt+click, because it uses just Alt+drag (no clicking). Just put your cursor over the window you want to move, hold the Alt (Command) key and start moving the mouse -- the window moves with you. Pretty cool stuff. Too darn bad you get so nickeled and dimed in OS X for stuff like this. Things are improving in this area, but too many of these itty bitty utilities cost money on OS X. --Dave -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
