You just need to configure your window manager so that a ``button-3
down'' on a ``window frame'' or ``window title'' starts a ``move
operation'' or a ``user-defined raise-and-move'' function.

You specify that in the start-up file for the window manager.

The syntax for that specification depends on the window manager you're
running.

And the start-up file in which you place it depends on the window
manager you're running.

You bet.

    Mark> Any suggestions?

Customize the start-up file for the window manager.  I can help you
with that, if you tell me what window manager you're using.  (I don't
know which one comes with FreeBSD by default---probably twm.  See the
man page for twm).

If you saw two guys named Hambone and Flipper, which one would you
think liked dolphins the most? I'd say Flipper, wouldn't you? You'd be
wrong, though. It's Hambone.  -- Jack Handey
