   The commands "set the location of ThisThing to ThisPoint", and "set the 
rectangle of ThatThing to ThisRect", absolutely *will* affect *any* component of 
a standalone. However: If you are indeed talking about an executable file, 
any changes you make in this manner *will not* be preserved from one run to the 
next. MacOS is one of the very few OSes which allows executable files to write 
to themselves; since most OSes don't allow that to happen at all, Rev doesn't 
let it happen even under MacOS. Therefore, what you want isn't *really* 
possible -- but you can FAKE it.
   What you do is make *two* stacks, one of which is your honest-to-God 
application. The other stack is a one-card jobbie, maybe nothing more than a 
'splash screen', and *that* is what you turn into the actual standalone. The 'splash 
screen' stack should have this command somewhere in it:

  open MyRealApp in this window

   If you jump thru this particular hoop, the benefit is that your real app 
is "merely" a document, *not* an executable file -- and that means you *can* 
save any & all changes that are made to your real app.
   Hope this helps...
