I got it (at least within 1 pixel in every direction)!

Before using the win plugin to get the bar's coordinates, I have to
disable the ContextIf item.

cl.show(bname)
cl.SetEnabled(bname, 1, 1)
cl.refresh(bname)
local myleft=win.left(bname)
local mytop=win.top(bname)
local myright=win.right(bname)
local mybottom=win.bottom(bname)
cl.SetEnabled(bname, 1, 0)
cl.refresh(bname)
win.debug("left:"++myleft++" top:"++mytop++" right:"++myright++"
bottom:"++mybottom)

gives:
left:936 top:32 right:1147 bottom:51

Then:

cl.AddProperties(bname, "Format1=Position: Floating Left: "++myleft++"
Right: "++myright++" Bottom: "++mybottom++" Top: "++mytop++" HOffset:
0 VOffset: 0")
cl.refresh(bname)
quit

Now does exactly what I wanted. Sorry for so many messages.
