Thanks to the person who posted ox.sys to the net. I scarfed it and
installed it on my machine, and it seems to work just the way it is
supposed to (i.e. dos and windows both write to the secondary
monitor). However, once I get the message on my monochrome screen, I
can't seem to get any further. I got a bit of info about where an
error occurred. What happens is that when I switch to the debugging
kernel, I immediately start getting errors. Apparently some of the
applications that I use have bugs. I am running a bunch of things like
screen peace and Winpost. 

So I am not sure what to do. The message on the secondary monitor said
"abort, ignore, break?", so I said ignore, and the machine hung.

thanks,

kartik
