Ray,

What Björnke says. However, I would use a frontscript to catch the 
preOpenStack messages, check that that target is card 1 of a script 
editor and then set the loc and rect of the script editor if necessary.

There's several ways to include code in the message path, for example I use "start using stack" instead of "backscript" or "frontscript".

To see where your IDE has stored that folder, go to the Preferences, and select "FIles & Memory" (it's at the bottom). Also check out the "development" menu: development -> plugins -> plugin settings
