Does that work for you Paul - it doesn’t for me. I’m having to do this: send CenterAnswerOnScreen to me in 1 tick answer “Blah blah blah” on CenterAnswerOnScreen set the loc of stack "answer dialog" to the screenLoc end CenterAnswerOnScreen I have a couple of customers with small-screened laptops who use large secondary monitors aligned at the bottom. Thus the top of the secondary monitor is quite a bit above the main laptop monitor. Ask and Answer dialogs are so far off you can only see about the bottom 1/8 of an inch of the window and are thus unusable.
