move window object programmatically [message #94600]

How can I move a graphics window object programmatically?

For example, by this I mean after issuing:

IDL> testWin = window(location=[500,500], dimensions=[600,600])

How can I then move this object from the command line? Even though neither location nor dimension are listed as methods in the help file, I can still change the window dimensions using:

IDL> testWin.dimensions=[400,400]

but trying to change the location using

IDL> testWin.location=[200,200]

returns an error:

% GRAPHICSWIN: Unknown property: LOCATION
% Execution halted at: $MAIN$

Similarly for 'testWin.position'.

Thoughts? Help?

Thanks in advance,
Dave
