Inconsistent bottomLeft behavior

[Scott Rossi]

Hi Larry:

Try this...

 put item 4 of tSCR into tYHeight
 put 0,tYHeight into tVarLoc

You should also double check the values you're putting into variables when
working with coordinates.  If you script

  put "0," into item 1 of  tLoc

You'll wind up with a double comma in tLoc.  This might be why you're
running into "coordinate is not a point" error.

Hope this helps.
