1. decide which monitor you want to be the primary one (that one will get
	the DV menu, allow small windows, etc) and set up DV as if you had
	only that display.  I have my VGA as primary.

2. for each program you want to run on the secondary display, do one of the
	following:
	a. start it via a batch file with MODE [MONO or CO80]
	b. set "writes directly to screen" to Y and "initial mode" to a mode
		on the secondary monitor (7 if mono, 2/3/extended if VGA)
