"During "development" on Windows with 2 monitors, how to use "set the loc of
this stack to the screenloc" so that a stack centres in on one or the other
monitor? (And, if not in the development environment? say, a standalone?)"

Here is a stack that gives you the location of monitor centres in a way that LiveCode
can use to position stacks in the centres of supplementary monitors.

Had a rather satisfying fight with my ISP and it got its act together again, so I can upload what I wanted to upload yesterday.
