setting the loc of a cloned window

[Ron]

Hi Sarah

I use an expanded version of the following for several sub-stacks in an app
and don't see the wd before it opens. This particular ex. tiles the wd.
Maybe you can try:

on preopenstack
  global newnotecnt
  open inv me
  put the screenloc into themid
  put the last char of newnotecnt into thenum
  put (thenum * 20) -100 into themod
  put themod + item 1 of themid &","& themod + item 2 of themid into newloc
  set the location of me to newloc
end preopenstack
