How Do I Preposition A Modal Stack

[Mark Schonewille]

Rob,

You have to set the top and the left of the stack or use the topleft  
instead.

set the topleft of stack "Number Keypad" to ¬
(the top of stack "Example" + linePosition),(the left of stack  
"Example")
modal stack "Number Keypad"

Best,

Mark
