Looks like this requires something you have that I don't.

If you run the script below you will find out that there are actually 2
windows with the position of {0,0}.
---------
copy my desktop_size() to {desktop_width, desktop_height}
on desktop_size()
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Finder"
set frontmost to true
repeat with i from 1 to the count of windows
if the position of window i is {0, 0} then
return the size of window i
end if
end repeat
end tell
end tell
end desktop_size
----------
If you would like the window to be in the center then
tell application "System Events" to set _frontApp to (path to frontmost
application) as Unicode text
copy my desktop_size() to {desktop_width, desktop_height}
tell application _frontApp
set {leftM, topM, rightM, bottomM} to bounds of window 1
set {wdwWidth, wdwHgt} to {(rightM - leftM), (bottomM - topM)}
set bounds of window 1 to {((desktop_width - wdwWidth) / 2),
((desktop_height - wdwHgt) / 2), ((desktop_width + wdwWidth) / 2),
((desktop_height + wdwHgt) / 2)}
activate
end tell

Option-L is "," symbol.
