I need a button script (HC 2.0) that opens a stack, but with two criteria:
1) open it in a new window 
2) position the newly opened stack in a specific place on the screen

Normally to open a stack, I would do a simple:  doMenu "Open Stack".  
But how do I get my script to do the equivalent of clicking in that
little box that says "open stack in new window"?  

As far as positioning the stack in a specific place, is there a way
to say "open stack at loc xx,yy" or do I need to open the stack first
then "set the loc of card window to xx,yy"?

Thanks in advance for any help... (My HyperTalk 2.0 book is on backorder!)
