New locs for old dialogs

[Wilhelm Sanke]

I do not intend to continue this thread endlessly, this is only to
notify you of a maybe interesting modification.
.
There are two  minor changes in my sample stacks
"NewLocAnswer-Metacard.mc" and
"NewLocAnswer-Revolution.rev" and its "answer dialog" substacks in
folder

"ftp://ftp.hrz.uni-kassel.de/pub/uni-kassel/Zentraler.Medienbereich/Sanke/Metacard/MetacardPractice/"

- an added script line  in the script of the "answer dialog" that resets
the loc-setting behavior to default if no "NewLoc" property is specified
before calling the dialog

- a slightly "didactically" improved surface of the sample stacks

The added script line resets the modified answer dialog to "normal"
behavior under Revolution and Metacard, i.e. if you do not specify a
NewLoc the dialog acts as you are used to it. But if you see the need to
place the answer dialog anywhere relative to the stack or on the screen,
you can do that.

It is not too difficult to modify your own answer dialog (or the ask
dialog accordingly) with the two additional script lines as shown in the
sample stacks or you could even substitute your answer dialogs with the
modified version, but be careful if you do that and backup before. But
you can also attach the modified versions as substacks to  your
applications and thus also have the option to use both the normal and
improved loc-setting feature of the answer command.
