Try this; it does exactly what you request (if I understand you).
I've had many different versions of this; this latest one's been
in service for two years, and is fast & reliable. Put it on a
key:

 nn=NOJM,(,2,.,P,r,s,K,b,d,A,r,g,),t,w,o,s,c,r,e,e,n,s,NO

(or LDPM or RUN it). It uses S/G 618 to hold data between uses.
To initialize it, hit the dedicated keystroke for text position 1
(nothing happens), then again at text position 2, which starts
you toggling back- and-forth between two completely floating
positions, with precise screen restoration (in Xy4 -- not too
sure about XyWin). Argument "/NV" (nothing happens when you
issue it) reinitializes positioning, e.g. in a different file.
(Oughta work in XyWin, although there might be some wrinkles.)
