To whom it may concern:

I have had a bit of trouble with St/V Mac on my MacII with 2 monitors
(seems to be a bit of trashing of the WindowManagerPort). After
some peeking and poking around I came up with the following fix:

! SystemDictionary methods !
multipleMonitors
    "Seems to fix the problem St/V Mac has with multiple monitors
     under Multifinder. But no guaranties I
     NOTE: putting this into startUp does+nt help.
     Written by G.Gollmann 31.5.89"

    (MPointer fromInteger:
     (MHandle fromInteger:
      (Window windowManagerPort longAtOffset: 24)) deref)
    wordAtOffset: 8 put: Screen boundingBox right! !

Execute "Smalltalk multipleMonitors" as soon as the system has started up,
putting it into "Smalltalk startUp" does'nt work. Use with caution, I have
just tested it for a short while !!!

(BTW, I have no response from digitalk yet, but then I just mailed yesterday ...)

				Have fun
