Look at the plural form of the screenRect property in the dictionary
(screenRects). It returns the rectangles of all the monitors attached to
the computer and has some variations such as 'effective' and 'working'.

You can determine which line of the screenRects applies to your stack using
the following:

put line (the screen of stack "MyStack") of the screenRects into
theScreenRect

You could then resize your stack accordingly.

It doesn't look like the 'screen' property is documented in the dictionary.
I've added a note to RQCC about that.
