Hi!
Why we don't try to write something a litle more elaborated? Using, by
instance, the MoveToControl function?
This is not a critic to you, just a chalenge to force you to learn one more
thing... I have started to write scripts like yours... Now, I have already
gone a litle ahead, and I already can use some more complex functions...
