setting the loc of a cloned window

[Ken Ray]

Sarah,

You need to hide the original before you clone it; the clone will then
be invisible too, and you can place it where you want. That is, don't do
this:

open stack "MyStack"
hide stack "MyStack"
clone stack "MyStack"

... because Rev bases what the clone looks like on its state before it
is opened. Do this instead:

hide stack "MyStack"
clone stack "MyStack"

I know it sounds weird to hide something that isn't open or visible, but
this works...
