Hi Ray,
Another approach you could take:
-- download the stack
go invisible url serverStackPath
put the name of this stack into tStack
-- set the rect while stack is still hidden
set the rect of tStack to the LastRect of tStack
-- make it visible
show tStack
--- save the stack
set the filename of tStack to localStackPath
save tStack

Paul - excellent idea and thanks for this suggestion. There's just
one pitfall in my situation. I'm doing this:
put url serverStackPath into stackData
open file localStackPath for binary write
write stackData to file localStackPath
close file localStackPath
I've now created the 'virgin' stack but the rect it should be is
stored as a property in it. So the problem is the next line:
put the LastRect of stack localStackPath into stacksLastRect
will effectively open the stack, thus assigning the templateStack's
rectangle to it before I get a chance to change the rect of the
templateStack.
What do you think?

So does anybody know how to set the default new stack size Livecode
will use the next time a new stack is created, either by the menu
choice or by simply opening a new disk file, writing to it and closing
it?
See the entry for "templateStack" in the dictionary.
