Screen Postion???

[Thomas McGrath III]

set the loc of stack (item i of "partners, aboutUs, location, contact") 
to tCurLoc

or better yet

put item i of "partners, aboutUs, location, contact" into tmystack
set the loc of stack tmystack to tcurLoc

unless of course the tCurLoc does not have full coordinates in it???
