A sneakier way would be to select all, group them, then get the bottom of the
group, then ungroup them again. Account for group margins (2 or 3 pixels or
something). If there are other objects of course that won't help you.

Hi script wizards!
I have a card containing a number of fields. I want to add another field, but
position this new field to have its top 20 pixels lower than the bottom of any
of the existing fields.
Does anyone already have a magic script to do this?
I also want to learn something new!
Peter
