I have a 2 part question

1-How can I be sure that the display dialog box is on top (in front) of the
running application?

tell application "currentAppl" activate -- it couldn't hurt even if not necessary -- display dialog ...

will cause the frontmost application to display the dialog (or alert) in front of its window. And will not allow the user to hide the dialog behind that window.


2- How can position the display dialog box to a predetermined place on the
screen?

I've never tried this. If it works, the dialog window would appear, then move. Looks ugly. But, I think you can do this in the Finder. Look at the Finder's window commands.
