For all this windows programming, where getting things to go where you want 
them is so difficult, rather than a dos box where you pretty well know where 
text is going to appear with a puts(), can we have juxtapose(), where we can 
reference the surrounding text and the gap to leave, and the angle off 
horizontal, and the text automagically appears there?

Like:
object textarea1, textarea2, textarea3

procedure winputs(object where, object what)
-- figure out how to put what where
end procedure

winputs("slightly above halfway between textarea1 and textarea2, diagonally 
up so the exclaimation point is aimed at the textarea3",^something)
