Lost HUD display offscreen - help

I had moved my Abranimations AO HUD into the lower right corner, with only part of the large round button showing, to minimize its intrusion on my display. Somehow now, in going back and forth between the release and FirstLook clients, its ended up totally offscreen, and I can't figure out how to get it back. I can select a different HUD to "edit", and then with the mouse scroll wheel can shrink the display to a partial of the screen, and see the HUD button sitting outside of the screen area, but can't figure out how to grab it and get it back onscreen. Can anyone tell me how to get it back?

Thanks.....

Go to inventory, select the hud and right click "Attach to>" and select where you want it.

A way to "grab hud items" that are "off the edge" is kind of silly.. but it works

1. Rez a new cube
2. Right Clcick and select "More > Attach Hud > Center"
3. Right click the square that appears on your HUD and select "Edit"
4. Using your mouse wheel, scale your HUD down. (pull back on the wheel I think)
5. Left click on the item that is outside your viewable area
6. adjust it's position so you can see it again (may take a couple of attempts)
7. Right click the square in the middle, and choose "Drop"
8 Delete the prim.

My usual method for fixing this is to detach the HUD and reattach it at 'Center.' I then right-click, Edit, and use the positional arrows to move it as far in the opposite direction from where I ultimately want it as I can without it disappearing again. For example, if I eventually wanted it at bottom center, I would relocate it visually to top center with the arrows, or top left would be moved to bottom right, etc. I would then detach again and reattach to the location I'd originally wanted before the HUD disappeared off screen. The resulting on screen position generally ends up being a little (or a lot) off, so just right-click, Edit, again and use the positional arrows to adjust the HUD location.
