Window positioning of multiple probes with same name

[tking]

I am working with a team that is developing a system simulation 
that requires a variable number of probes.  The user can select how 
many probes to generate from the ModelSwarm window.  Then, 
that number of  probes are generated and displayed on the 
desktop.  Everything works now.  

Our problem is that we need to be able to save each probe 
display position after moving them on the desktop so they don't 
overlap.  I am using the command 

CREATE_ARCHIVED_PROBE_DISPLAY (self); 

in the .m file for the probe (and also in ObserverSwarm.m).  This 
puts the position in the .swarmArchiver file, but it only saves the 
x,y positon of the last created probe.  We only want to have one 
probe file and call it x-number of times.  How can I generate 
multiple probes and save their positions on the desktop without 
having to have a separate probe name (i.e. objects) for each one.  
We are using Swarm-2.0.

Also, I've noticed that the .swarmArchiver file doesn't appear to 
allow appending as did the one in version 1.4.1  Is this the case or 
am I accessing it incorrectly?
