This is very cool! I'm sorry I missed the earlier discussion. Amazingly, I did a search of the archive and didn't find anything
either. I must have used the wrong search words?? Anyway, thanks for
the solution . . . it works just fine! BTW, I also vote for a
scriptable option.
Cheers, Roger
You could also take a look at my "Transparent Dialogs" under "User Contributions" on the RunRev site (first choose "Resources"), which implement the feature to place answer and ask dialogs anywhere on the screen. You can disregard the pseudo-transparency effects and comment the respective script lines or transfer the relevant script lines about the "newloc" custom property to the Rev dialogs.

From the description:
Transparent Dialogs
These are modified "ask" and "answer dialogs", which can be used with the "answer" and "ask" commands. They are semi-transparent, i.e. they show the underlying area of the screen or stack. They do *not* display the exaggerated width of the dialogs provided with version 2.1.2 of Revolution, about which members of the use-revolution list have complained. The text is more readable as the textsize is preset to 14 and the textfont to "verdana", a font both available on the Mac and Wimdows platforms.
An additional feature of these dialogs is that you can set their loc to any point of the screen - or relative to your stack; just add a line like "set the NewLoc of stack "answer dialog" to x,y" before you use the ask or answer command.
You could replace the Revolution dialogs with these "transparent dialogs", but I would recommend to import them as substacks of any stacks of your choice. Thus they would be called instead of the dialogs of the Revolution IDE (or - for that matter - the Metacard IDE).
