In code, you can paste similar "controls" code to the source, and modify properties like left and top. Also, if you do it in code, you'll never have a corrupted SCX to worry about. Now if we could just transfer the source to paper tape, I'd really feel secure - well - I might start worrying about moths and book works then - so maybe not.
