I'll assume that you're running a recent version of DECwindows and
give you a solution for that setup.  I don't know how to make the
session manager prompt you for the screen number when you start an
application.

However, if you always want a given application to start up on a given
screen (you seem to), you can make this happen.  Use the "Customize"
menu to alter the definitions of your applications so that they have a
"-display :.0" or a "-display :.1" in them.  This should force them to
appear on the screen of choice.
