In addition to James response, you can set the location of the popup in the activate statement:
ACTIVATE popup MyPopUp at nRow,nCol
The nRow and nCol are more like 80x24 positioning. There may be some science to get GUI relative positioning, but have not really looked. I just bumble through a few numbers until it "looks" about right:-)
