So you are requesting a feature that determines whether you are either nuts or simply enamored of nursery rhymes?

As that request was posted in 2007 (9 years ago) I assume
I am wasting my time requesting it.

Considering that feature is "there" in SuperCard I wonder what
the objection to it is in LiveCode.

The location of the answer dialog follows HIG according to platform.

Note that while they are convenient, they are mostly frowned on now as intrusive and unnecessary except for some rare situations. Basically they're old interface and I suspect that's one reason they aren't changing, especially since it isn't difficult to make your own.

since it isn't difficult to make your own.

Yup: well put.

I must be old-fashioned. I always use these, unless I need a custom job. I admit that an answer dialog with 7 choices does seem a bit overwrought.

I use ask and answer often too, but it's not very often I need to customize their location.

Still, it would be nice to see SC's "at" option adopted for those rare cases when the HIG isn't enough.
