How to set coordinates for newly pasted item

[OhmsG]

I currently have an item (a group) that is copied with scripting.  

I paste this item into a specific layer like so:

    var mainTemplateLayer = aDoc.layers.getByName("Placement" + plcIx);
    aDoc.activeLayer = mainTemplateLayer;
          app.paste();

the layer mainTemplateLayer already has an item there (a box).

How can I get the pasted item only and set the top and left coordinates?

Try something like this

// your group is already copied
app.selection = null;
app.paste();
var sel = app.selection[0];
alert (sel.left);
alert (sel.top);
sel.left = 0;
sel.top = -200;

Similarly (since a pasted item is the topmost pageItem):

app.paste();
app.activeDocument.pageItems[0].position = [50, - 50];

Careful though. You can paste more than one item. In that case, this method would only move the top item and leave the rest of the pasted items behind.
