populating stack with field

[Marian Petrides]

 >>>i would like the recipient to be able to do this.

You could have the user enter a location as vertical and horizontal 
coordinates and then set the loc of btn x to v,h

repeat with j = 1 to the number of buttons
   Ask "Desired vertical"
   put it into v

   Ask "Desired horizontal"
   put it into h

   set the loc of btn j to v, h
end repeat


I just tried this as part of an openCard handler and it works fine.
