Jim, the only way to set the locaton of a modal dialog box (that I'm aware of) 
is changing the location in the preOpenStack of the dialog stack you're opening:

-- Dialog stack "MyDialog"
on preOpenCard
  set the loc of this stack to 100,100
end preOpenCard

-- Calling stack
on mouseUp
  modal "MyDialog"
end mouseUp

The other possibility is to open a dialog box as modeless, which would let you 
drag it around…
