HyperCard version 1.2 and later has the function "screenrect()", which
returns the location of the four corners of the screen HyperCard is running
on. For example, the line
  put the screenrect into the message box
will put
  0,0,512,342
into the message box, if HyperCard is running on a 9" Mac screen.
