So, I've been modifying the Roger base game with a different background size (640 x 360) and different sprite sizes.  On the base game, the text is at the bottom of the screen when the cursor goes over a hotspot.  On my game, it's up quite a bit and to the left.  I did a search for hotspot text but couldn't find anything that applied or missed it, or just didn't understand it. I changed the resolution setting in general to 640x360. Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

What is "Roger base game" exactly? If that's one of the default templates (Sierra, BASS etc), then the hotspot text is located on some GUI with a label. The name of that GUI varies between templates. For example, in Sierra-style template it is "gStatusbar", in BASS and Verb Coin that is "gActionBar".
If that's the case, then simply edit GUI's position properties (X,Y,Width,Height) in accordance to your game's resolution.

OK, that worked.  Also, when you click on roger with the look on the BASS interface, he says he's looking good in a box about middle of screen.  I couldn't find a gui for that.  How would I move it?

If you go to the character screen and examine what actions are linked to cRoger, the "look" or right mouse click should jump to the corresponding place in script. It will be a display box, so you can manipulate it with parameters that has to do with the command "Display". (Check the manual for this.)
