Hi from Paris,

I have an update on my own question. When I position the
message  box,

show message box
set the rect of window  "message box"   to 394,681,802,826

it goes to the right place. But when I display any data in it, it
RETURNS to its original position (It happens so quickly
during my script execution, that it was hard to see !).

So now my question is reformulated. Can I freeze
the message box so that it doesn't move ?

Since Revolution, unlike Hypercard, offers you substacks, instead of fighting message box, create a substack with a single field in it and use for your progress. Display. In pseudo code it goes like

set the rect of stack "myprogressdisplay" to 394,681,802,826
modeless stack "myprogressdisplay"
put "my progress info" into fld 1 of stack "myprogressdisplay"
close stack "myprogressdisplay"
