Answer Dialog location

[Scott Rossi]

Are you sure you don't have a handler somewhere that is positioning the
dialog?  Because the default behavior *is* to position the answer dialog
in the middle of the main display.

This is the routine I use when I want the dialog to appear at a specific
location:
on suspendStack
   if "answer dialog" is among the lines of the openStacks then
      set the topLeft of stack "answer dialog" to 100,100
   end if
end suspendStack


I've never had to use any script to position the answer dialog in the
middle of the screen since it (should) just work that way.
