Hi Kresten, I can think of two approaches. One approach needs some editing of the stack "Ask Dialog", the other uses a custom dialog. I'll tell how you might edit the stack "Ask Dialog" as you probably know how to create a custom dialog.
Edit the script of the stack "Ask Dialog". There, you will see: on openCard end openCard on preOpenCard end preOpenCard on closeCard end closeCard on openStack end openStack Change the preOpenCard handler to the following (mind linewraps): on preOpenCard if the cCustomLoc of me is a point then set the loc of me to the cCustomLoc of me end preOpenCard In the script where you want to execute the ask command, now include the following: set the cCustomLoc of stack "Ask Dialog" to 1920,512 ask "Hello World?" with "Hello indeed!" put it into myUserInput --or any other variable set the cCustomLoc of stack "Ask Dialog" to empty -- rest of script You will need to determine the right value for cCustomLoc yourself, although I think it can be calculated from the screenrect.

I am working with large cards, 3x3 screens, and have 5 ask-dialogs, all called from primary (upper left) screenwindow. In mac versions these dialogs appear as they are meant to, centered in that primary window. But in a Windows standalone the dialogs appear - out of sight - in the next (middle) screen, thus not answerable-(except blindly), and blocking all activity. Is there a way to fix the position of such ask-dialogues to a specified screen-position? Kresten Bjerg
