A very old enhancement request that would be a nice addition. SuperCard
has a 'at' syntax, so you could say:
Ask "What color is your favorite?" at screenLoc()
Now you have to do something like
set the loc of stack "Ask Dialog" to screenLoc()
ask "What color is you favorite?"
The actual stack names are "Ask Dialog" and "Answer Dialog" whether
invoked from the IDE or a Standalone.
