Hi Andrew,

In my projects I use a frontScript like :

on preOpenStack
  if the short name of the target \
     is among the items of "Ask,Answer" then
    set the location of the target to the screenLoc
  end if
  pass preOpenStack
end preOpenStack

The above will center the Ask and Answer dialog boxes, but you could add handlers to change the loc and save it in a local variable of the frontscript. Example :

local sDialogLocationsA
on Andrew_SetDialogLocation pDialogName, pLocation
  put pLocation into sDialogLocationsA[pDialogName]
end Andrew_SetDialogLocation

on preOpenStack
  put the short name of the target into tName
  if tName is among the items of "Ask,Answer" then
    set the location of the target to \
        sDialogLocations[tName]
  end if
  pass preOpenStack
end preOpenStack
