1) Is there any way of reporting the position of the PWindow object in a patch? Obviously I can view as text and copy manually.. but I want to get at these values in Max.

2) Is there any way of determing the actual live 'screen' position of an open patch window?

pwindow-location

Ah.. thispatcher solves the 'screen postition' issue.. but I still can't find a way to get a pwindow to tell me where it is within a patch.. any ideas?

in max 5 send "getglobal_rect" to the pwindow and "route global_rect" on the dump outlet.

no go in 4, but you can probably achieve what you want with javascript, by naming the pwindow and querying it in the script.
