The screenloc is the center of the screen, not the center of the working
area or content. The screenloc will never change on the same display,
regardless of the content displayed on it.
What I think is being discussed is the loc of the card. This will change on
desktop monitors if the stack size is changed. On mobile the card size is
basically fixed most of the time and so the loc will also be a fixed
coordinate.
Probably what's being asked for is a "working content center loc" function,
but since it's so trivial to implement I don't see it as a high priority
myself.

I agree. The effective and/or working key word should also be modifiers for
the screenLoc function.

Subject: Re: THOUGHT: the [effective] [working] screenLoc
Yes, that is why I said (read below) that if others did not think there
should be an effective and/or working key word for the screenLoc function, I
would roll my own based on the screenRect function. I was asking whether
other think the screenLoc function should or should not have these keywords.

Seems like you could subtract item 1 from item 3 and item 2 from item 4 of
the effective screenRect to get what you need.

I posted the question below and got no responses so I thought I would
try again.
I noticed that screenLoc has no effective or working keywords
associated with it in LC9 or earlier. It seems to me that it should
and that if it has been done for the screenRect(s), it should be a
small enhancement to add them to the screenLoc
Do others agree? If so I will submit and enhancement entry to the
quality center. if not, I'll drop this discussion thread and roll my
own function based on the screenRect function.
