Re: GLA the last version that I released was version 1.5. This checks
screenBits.bounds to ensure its saved location is on the screen, which does
NOT work on multiple-monitor systems (as screenBits.bounds is only defined for
the monitor that has the menubar on it). Version 1.6 is in the works, but
things like finals and the LSC debugger not wanting to let GLA 1.6a3 run
have kept a later version from being released. The correct way to do this,
of course, is with greyRgn, which is how I do it in version 1.6.
In any case, while there may be some problems engendered by using two
monitors in the way that you are using them, GLA 1.5 is not a valid test of
that problem.
