This method will translate a window across the screen. Positive values move the window to the right and down while negative values move the window to the left and up.

Warnings:

There are some security implications for moving windows in Netscape 4. They are intended to stop you hiding a window by shifting it off-screen. Your script will need to be granted the UniversalBrowserWrite privilege to allow it to move the window outside the screen area.
