Jerry,

Just picked something up from the newsgroup. Have not tested it but it may help explaining

The problem with MROW() and MCOL() is that they always return coordinates
relative to _screen, UNLESS YOU PASS THEM A WINDOW NAME. That's where
MWINDOW() comes in.

ACTIVATE POPUP whatever AT MROW(MWINDOW()), MCOL(MWINDOW())

You can find out what object (control) is under the mouse with sys(1270) and
query its top/left, but that's not very useful for "large" objects.
AMOUSEOBJ() may also be of help to you.
