Set the current port to the window's port, call GetPortRect, and process
the upper-left-hand point of the rectangle with LocalToGlobal.  This
point will now contain the global coordinates of the window's upper-left
corner, which can later be used with MoveWindow.

Check out the WinFlate source for an example of this.
