On the one hand, yes, I think the function is too simple to justify the 
function call overhead.  Maybe we could make it inline though.  On the other 
hand, a dialog manipulation routine taking relative coordinates might be 
lacking in the API.  In what kind of situation did you need the routine?

Don't worry, your English is not bad at all (as far as a French can judge).
