I started using twin monitors two years ago.  Very productive.  There is a 
public domain utility called DOORS that lets you switch between monitors by
pressing the ALT & right shift keys simultaneously.  
   I will compile a program, and if any errors appear on the screen, I invoke
DOORS twice, which makes a copy of the errors on my color tube to my mono
tube, and puts me back on the color one.  Then I edit the source file, while
looking at the errors on the other screen.  Saves lots of paper.
   DOORS can be found in TWINTUBE.ARC, which also contains some system drivers
called MONO.SYS and COLOR.SYS, which allows you to write to the other tube as
a device.
   You can get the arc from Vern Buerg's BBS at (415) 994-2944.

   PS --- if I get an error listing of more that one page, I redirect it to
a temp file, and use BRIEF to edit the source & display the errors in a
second editing window.  BRIEF is a pretty cool editor.
