Thanks for the code. It's rather enlighting. Now, my next question,
how do you set the loc of a answer dialog. I am using
set loc of stack "Answer Dialog" to new_loc
show stack "Answer Dialog"
answer "prompt" with "reply1" or "reply2"
The result is rather interesting. One time out of 2 or 3, it will
get it right. Other times, it will leave it at rough center of the
current stack, the default location.

I will have to follow your advice if I get more involved with
Metacard in the future.
Thanks again.
