Mike,

Most lappy's support an external screen by pressing a function key. I think on mine it is F5, and it toggles through the options:
1. Laptop screen
2. external screen (with laptop screen off)
3 Both laptop and external screen show the same thing (used for data projectors, etc)

I think you might be playing around with the multiple monitors feature in windows, which allows you to use two screens simultaneously to increase the size of your desktop. If I'm right, you should be able to drag a window from your laptop screen onto the external screen with your mouse...

Warning! Be careful with this feature, I played around with it in K3ccdtools, and I think I might have dragged the drift explorer onto screen 2 but forgot to drag it back. Later when running on just the lappy screen again, I couldn't access the drift explorer cause it was on a part of the desktop I couldn't see... I ended up reinstalling K3 in desperation. It wasn't till later that I twigged to what I'd done!

Al.
