Any suggestions? By adding "in a new window" to the go command you can do just what you want. The "in a new window" portion of the command can also be attacked to other commands so that you create a new stack in a new window (create stack "x" in a new window).

I posted a message with a similar question earlier but it must have gone into a black hole because I never saw it post. My question is different in that I would like to be able to 1) open a new window, with the present one staying open, and 2) open the new window in a specified place. I know about the "new window" command, but I can't make it open where I want it to. Any suggestions appreciated - ___________________________ Donalee H.

The following will do what you want: lock screen go to stack "foo" in new window set the topLeft of window "foo" to "400,400" -- or use "loc" or whatever unlock screen -- ========= jeanne a. e. devoto ======================================== jdevoto@apple.com | You may not distribute this article under a jdevoto@well.sf.ca.us | compilation copyright without my permission. ______________________________________________________________________ Apple Computer and I are not authorized | CI$: 72411,165 to speak for each other. |
