Thanks Mark. I was playing with this to try and determine how to get a stack
window to move to a position where it is fully visible on the screen it belongs
to. Turns out not to be trivial, at least not for me. I worked out the math,
and was feeling pretty proud of myself, until I realized the p

Sorry, one more question:

Thank you Mark!
I will create an abbreviated summary for the Dictionary entry.
I can now see why the programmer will get a screen number for the stack
even if the stack is not "on" any actually monitor (use loc to screenLoc
line calculation), which is actually very helpful. Our application ha

If someone from the mothership can verify, I would be happy to open a

It was easy enough to test. It is the loc of the stack. I would have thought
the top left, but that's just me. There's good reasons for both, but I am
thinking like a Mac user. The window controls for Windows are topright!

But is the number accurate?
If so, I presume it is just comparing the saved loc of the stack to the
screenRects, but what if the saved loc is not in any of the screenRects,
then what does 'the screen of stack' return? 1 by default? or something
else?
I could, of course, but a second monitor,
Curiously, it also returns the screen number for stacks that are not open.

The screen of stack X returns the number of the monitor (the line number
for the screenRects) that the stack/window is on.
How exactly is this determined? I presume it is based on the loc
(location) property of the stack, since the window (effective rect or
rect) itself can span multiple monit
