Thanks Klaus: however, as you'll see, I fired off a question 2 minutes before I found the answer.

Nothing new there.

Yer: I know: mouseLoc

BUT, that only returns the loaction of the mouse relative to the top-left of a 
stack.
Let us suppose one has a stack measuring 100 by 100 pixels at the centre of 
one's monitor . . .
And one wants to know the position of the mouse in terms of the monitor rather 
than the stack . . .
So that one can determine IF the mouse is 100 pixels away from the left-hand 
side of the stack, or 200 pixels.
This would, of necessity, have to be in a stackScript or a cardScript and NOT 
involve any mouseClicks as that
would take focus away from the stack.
you are looking for -> the ScreenMouseLoc
Maybe monitor this property in a "mousemove" handler in the card or stack 
script...

Richmond.
Best
