Howard, thanks for the reply.
My two LCDs are of different size and different resolution, I
understand your idea and I am already using AA windows/formula
editors on the second screen, but when it comes to chart display, it
is not convenient to resize the AB main program window to fill the
whole two screen and resize the chart windows within it , cuz unlike
what it deals with layouts, workspaces, AB cannot memorize all
these resizings, you have to repeat the resize/rearrange operation
every monring you open the program. So now I decide to settle down
with the idea of running two instances of AB, that works well with
multi-monitors.
kindest regards
itmwh
