Jan,
I thought I would take you up on your challenge to be adventurous and try to
alter the loc of the answer dialog box by changing the script of the box.
By script, I got the script of card 1 of stack "dialog box", found the line in
the PreopenStack handler where the loc is set, i.e.:
set the loc of this stack to the screenloc
I then added 200 to the second item of the screenloc, altered that line in the
script, and reset the script of the box.
As a check, I then got the script of the box and I could see that the new loc
had been applied,
I then called answer again but it continued to show in at the original
screenLoc. The new script didn't seem to take.
Is there a way to change the loc of the answer dialog box? There are times when
it is just very inconvenient.
I seem to recall a discussion of this topic some time ago.
