macOS AppleScript "window size" attribute?

[DanTekGeek]

I'm trying to hack together an applescript that will resize a window on my main display, and move the window to a set position on another display. I have been trying to work with the "bounds" attribute, but the window won't seem to go to the right size. Essentially what I need to do is find if there is an attribute for the dimensions of a window. "bounds" seems to be tied to where the window is compared to the edge of the screen.

Essentially, I want to do this:

Get the size of window x

Make window y the size of window x

Move window x to position z on display b

Move window y to position w on display b

thanks in advance for your help.

I don't know anything about AppleScript, but in Cocoa, "frame" is what defines the basic origin and size of a window, "bounds" defines the position and size relative to an enclosing container. Maybe it's the same in AppleScript?

It bounds for size (which makes sense even in Cocoa frame has origin (for the x/y position) and bounds for the size).
