Less obscurely and in case it helps to know how I sorted it out having 
forgotten about parent-x/y, I used the ACL "find definitions" dialog to 
look for definitions of parent-x and saw it was defined for widgets, 
then I used the class browser to confirm that widget was not in the item 
class precedence list. using 'quick find def' keychord I then bounced to 
the item source and was reminded of "coords".
