ObjectInfo('Rectangle'), Rectangle( and Binary Data

I am needing to move an object to a specific 
location on a form but MoveObjects only moves 
relative distances from current locations. I must 
first determine where an object is before I can 
put it where it belongs so I do ...

SelectObjects ObjectInfo("Name") = "H1"
Message ObjectInfo("Rectangle")

In my effort to determine the current rectangle 
that 'H1' occupies, my ObjectInfo("Rectangle") 
only gives me gobble d gook cuz I am not 
understanding how to get from gobble d gook to 
meaningful data cuz my brain apparently isn't 
good at binary. What am I supposed to do with 
'Xå`é'  that my Message returns?  I read the 
suggested Rectangle( docs but they didn't help 
move me forward.
