I agree, but my point was that even if the application is scriptable, there is no
id of window 2 of process "TextEdit"
while there is one for
window 2 of application "TextEdit".
I'm wondering if something like
tell application "System Events"
set myProcess to (name of first process whose frontmost = true and visible = true)
set ws to windows of process myProcess
set {width, height} to {screenWidth / (count ws), screenHeight}
repeat with i from 1 to count ws
set {position of window i of myProcess, size of window i of myProcess} to {{(i - 1) * width, 0}, {width, height}}
end repeat
end tell
would do the job.
And here I have the problem how I can test a script that refers to the font window: when I'm scripting, this is alway Script Editor...
Best
