I guess a lot of folks must have installed secondary mono monitors for use
with CVW and maybe for other reasons.

I have found some interesting uses for the setup.
	First of all, at the DOS prompt you can enter "mode mono" to switch to
	the mono screen.  If you do that from Win3 with DOS in a window the DOS
	session will be switched to the mono monitor (full screen).  You can
	then shrink the original window to get it out of the way.  Clicking
	anywhere within it will reactivate the mono DOS session.
	For some reason Windows won't display the cursor on the mono screen :-(
	Anyone have a fix for this?
	
	Also, I found that the CShow .GIF viewer is able to display its menu on
	the mono and graphics on the VGA. From DOS enter "mode mono". This
	activates the mono monitor. Start CSHOW. The menu appears on the mono and
	the images on the VGA.	
	
If anyone knows of any other uses for this dual monitor setup please let me
know.  I'll post a summary.
