I'm afraid that might play havoc with a Modal Dialog; like, you press down on
a button and change your mind, so you move away and release the mouse button -
it's up and up, up and away goes the dialog too! Normally, nothing should
happen; so I think I'd better stick to what I'm doing for the time being at
least.

Thanks,
