This question concerns using sunview on a two-headed (two monitor) system. I am running sunview on both monitors, and using adjacentscreens so the mouse can switch between them. I have a short sunview application that I have written. This application writes to stdout (which is the command tool from which the application was launched). I wish to start this application from a cmdtool on monitor A, and have it write its standard output into that cmdtool. However I would like it to open its base frame window and associated subwindows on monitor B. Is there an easy way to do this? I would be happy to modify the frame=window_create(NULL,FRAME,...) call in my code, if that might accomplish what I desire. Bruce Allen (ballen@dirac.phys.uwm.edu)

Here's a hint: 1) On one cmdtool on monitor A type "env >env.1" 2) On a different cmdtool on monitor A type "env >env.2" 3) Type "diff env.1 env.2", this says what differences to ignore. 4) On a cmdtool on monitor B type "env >env.3" 5) Type "diff env.1 env.3". By doing the appropriate 'setenv' on A, the application should use B.
