I don't get any error messages in that case. If window x is already a tabbed
popup window, this:
set x to container window of folder ...
set popup of x to true
set pulled open of x to false
simply does nothing.

Clever. The lining up of the folders to the left is not a serious problem in
my perception, though. It was more an observation on my part that I would
expect there to be a property for the position of the tabbed window across
the screen bottom, and I wondering if I maybe missed something because I
couldn't find it.
Thanks for the suggestion, though. If I really want the popups in the middle
I will implement this.
